They got the hang of it!


...when they understand what you really mean with "getting a quality job done" it goes pretty quick! It is so awesome to work with hard working, understanding people who are eager to learn. Though i have to be present on site in order to make it happen at 9:00am and 6:00pm it goes pretty smooth these days.

Christmas morning will be with pie and coffee and tea :-) under a real roof! when the deadlines are being reached.


As commented on the previous blog, the watchman is having an awesome time too. To give you the facts, the man is 40+, has 6 daughters and lives with his family in a shack (see yesterdays blog).
He is hired by a security company we contract in turn, to provide day and night presence on the construction site. We pay the security company USD 60.00 per month and they assumingly pay the gentleman less than that as a monthly salary. Not much... so we have offered our faithful security guard a fulltime job with our company as soon as we are operational on this site; he and his family can move from a hut to an apartment as we increase his pay to an above average Indian level.

With 6 daughters in India you will have to spend a lot in order to get them married to decent guys! As a company we have decided to help him, as he has some serious challenges facing him in the Indian context. Obviously he is a very happy man, having a brighter future ahead of him!
