We leave Kien Giang after an amazing bus ride along the tributaries of the Mekong Delta. The drive takes us by Liam's orphanage as well as the town of Tan Hiep where he was born. We arrive late in to the provincial capital of Dong Thap after driving for 6 hours (which included two ferry rides over larger parts of the river) Our group is so large we occupied two Ferry's with our passengers and three buses.
Wednesday March 26th the construction team breaks up into three teams. We travel to Tan Hoi Trung in two Tuk Tuk's, which is a motorcycle with a passenger compartment that fits six of us with our tools on the roof. The house site is located along a small tributary 30 minutes out side of town beside miles of green rice patties. The house itself will have two rooms with a separate outhouse to be constructed in the rear of the property. We had a good day completing
about three quarters of the masonry walls. In spite of the 99 degree weather every bodies spirits our high though exhausted.
