Making cement, painting, building wall and digging trenches

Students spent the day working at a local village, helping to build a new school. The students didn't mind getting their hands dirty, making cement, painting, building an outer wall and digging a trench for the foundations of some fence posts. After a long day's work students spent the night in the village before heading to the Kuang Si waterfalls to swim in the shallow pools below.
