back on the road

It's been nearly one year away from Lesotho. I can hardly imagine we are going back out again.

It took us almost 5 months to get things ready, and a lot is still not done, but tomorrow we will be setting out once again to the "Mountain Kingdom", this time I am going on behalf of RRA (Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter) and Article 25 (previously known as A4A), to start work on an exciting new build project for K4L (kick for Life).

This blog is aimed at keeping friends and family informed about this new trip, but also it is to serve as a tool to keep our team back in Oslo up to date with the progress of the trip and the project.

Ask, ask, ask…. Ok it’s free!

If it’s not going to be made of tin then what will it be?

Our team had to split up his morning as one of us was feeling at his best.Like that two of us went off material hunting whilst the other stayed in Maseru discussing the project with K4L and getting information for the project.

In our explorations through the country side we found a quarry, where after bombarding the manger with a lot of questions we managed to get a price that looked more or less like we wanted: free!

Cutting stone is a funny business. Labour intensive, long process, and very likely to produce waste! It’s this waste that we discovered we could get for a very competitive price provided we could supply trucks and labour.

Still not sure what we can do with this stone but at least it’s a start, if we could do find more opportunities like this then maybe we could do much more!
