Meanwhile back on Gili Sunut

With no kids on the site this week, we made a quick visit to the island.

As is now customary, we were greeted by the kids who rushed down to the beach to see what treats we had brought for them! Their passion for life and warm smiles reminded us why we are all here.

The excitement builds at Teanjah Anjah

Driving along the new road towards the village, it was clear that the terracotta roof tiles had arrived on site and work was now progressing to complete the first six homes.

Touring the site, we could see that most of the foundations for all the 109 houses had now been completed and the physical shape of the village was easier to identify. With some houses nearing completion you could see where the roads, private gardens and public area would be in relation to one another.  

As well as the bright red terracotta roof, a number of houses were being rendered outside, while another team was busy dry lining the interiors and putting up the ceilings in the three rooms homes.  One house even had a fresh coat of pink paint on the exterior. “It’s a modern colour’ laughed one builder, as we discussed a more environmentally sympathetic range of colours!
