Bricks For Sale...

Nyimba Central Baptist Church is making and selling 12,000 bricks as a fundraiser to buy tin sheets for a new roof for the church building. I decided that I wanted to take the afternoon and join them to learn how they make bricks and see if they would let me try myself! I had a good time observing and participating in this awesome project that they have going! They have made almost 8,000 bricks. To complete the 12,000 bricks needed they will work 6 more days to reach their goal!


Picking up the mortar that is full of wet mud.

Carrying the mortar to the place where the bricks will dry.
Emptying the mud out of the mortar...it looks a lot easier than it is!
No one stays clean making bricks!!
