Our two kids, Simcha and Ava, often go with us to the construction site. What a fun it is, to play on a big pile of dirt.


The guy on the left is holding the 'electricity' for the man in the hole, while our building supervisor checks the quality of what is done.

Looking at the buildings those people can build with so little equipment make me respect them.



this is all the electricity there is on the site

the whole concept of working effectively has a different meaning here



Protection against the sun


Looks a lot like Dutch cheese, with all those holes.

Here they are putting the steel work together that goes into the foundation.
In Thailand there are a lot of women working in the construction world.
This is one of the typical jobs they do.

This man is called Phaset and stays at the buildingsite during the nights. The shed behind him is his 'house'. He was telling me that the nights were so cold, so I brought him one of my sweaters and a blanket. It is our desire to give a good testimony and treat them well.
