World Nomads Create Scholarships Photography 2015 Applications It Takes A Village Building New Homes In Desa Gobleg It Takes A Village - building new homes in Desa Gobleg by Catherine Page Bali Shares Facebook Twitter When a team of 14 Canadians went to Bali to work with local people to build homes for two families one of the most impactful parts of the project was the cisterns. Two 10 foot deep cisterns were dug by hand to collect and hold fresh water for the families. When completed these cisterns were sealed and had a pump. Prior to this water was collected in an open tarp. Grandfather, a wonderful old gentleman, tended the young children during the day while the men worked on construction and the women prepared the meals and looked after the hydrangea plantation that these families tend for a landlord. One of the homeowners sorts through nails that have been pulled out of old boards. Most nails will be reused in the construction. The boards they were extracted from were also sanded down and reused. The women prepare meals for the whole crew - about 30 people including the Canadian crew and the local villagers assisting with construction. Meals are prepared over fires of wood collected from the surrounding area. A member of the Habitat Indonesia team is assisted by the children. Paint is mixed with cement water to be used on the lower third of the walls of the houses. This provides a water proofing layer around the base of the house and provides some decoration to the concrete block construction.
