I was involved in a Big Build near Vung Tau, about 2 hrs north of Ho Chi Minh near the coast.  We had over 200 volunteers from Korea here in Vietnam and we built 12 houses in two weeks. The volunteers are from a company called POSCO and half are employees who donate 1% of their salary to this and the other half are university students.  POSCO is a steel company and they have factories in Vietnam that make car bodies for all over the world.  There mission to to create a “Dream Village” and they have built a total of 40 houses so far.  To help get the volunteers started, Habitat builds the structural part:

Again I was sort after for my skills so I helped lay brick and move bricks which is a very exhausting job.

There has been comment from a party who will remain nameless that the bricks are not straight.  This job is harder than it looks and I was being supervised, so I have no issues with the QA!

Here are some of the kids in the play ground that has been build a previous time and a painting that was going up

As normal I am always getting asked for photos, don’t know why:)

PS, he is not doing the fingers, that is what we do over here.  Also just to show you that I am living it up, this is where I was staying while was on the build.  I was sharing with 3 other girls:
