Community Work Day

Today, our quartier all got together to work on building our local mosque. Every single piece of this structure is handmade, even the bricks and gravel to make them. Its an expensive and therefore very slow building process. Started building over 10 years ago, probably will NOT be done by the time I leave, but it was nice to put a little blood, sweat and tears into the community.

Also, we feasted on chicken, which totally made the work worth it!
