Next door to the school, two women have been busy bringing bricks up a ladder to the second story platform. As you can tell, they are building a wall. Maybe to keep the noise from the school down? I have no idea... This picture was taken from Neenas classroom and it's not always loud enough for them to want to block it out, but I suppose they could be adding on to the house or something. The women would occasionally wave to me so I took that as permission to take a photo. It's common in India (and other countries, I assume) to see women construction workers and most of them around here carry bricks. They had to carry them up a not so sturdy ladder but luckily, they only had maybe 6-8 each time. I've seen some women carry a lot more than that. I think I'd rather balance a stack of books on my head then bricks....
