Ethiopia Habitat Build Site 3

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – 2014. Build site number three was a two unit toilet built in a very small space. Both teams worked on this site. The “B” Team did the rebar work and poured the floor slab and the “A” team did the walls. The work was very difficult because of the confined space.
