Library building, first stage- cleaning up.

We arrived in school, met the principal, told her we wanted to clean up the room (we had volunteered to be the cleaning party), and were told to wait…and when we finally decided that we needed to get our ass moving, we walked out, and lo and behold! the room was being cleaned out by almost every kid in school! This here is an example of Balinese efficiency.

All hands on deck!

Not all...the practice in lounging around starts young for Balinese men.

The junk were moved out, room swept and washed out, and we stood around taking photos of the cute little pupils from Taman Kanak-kanak (T.K. in short, meaning "Kindergarten")who were too young to help.

In about half an hours time, for the first time in many years, the room was swathed in sunshine...and we were able to take in...what repairs were needed for the room!

Not exactly "gleaming", but good enough, check out the "was" pic in the previous blogs...

Next stage, repairs and painting the room.

The girls who stuck with the cleaning right through to the end, thank you!
