These pictures were taken as they began to do work. I missed when they dug the hole, but got some pics of them working on the bases for the back of the building. From what I understand they are putting these big slabs of cement down, with the metal grate on top, with a metal pillar connected to it. This is supposed to help make the building earthquake proof. There are about 40 centimeters of cement total at the bottom total (if I understand right).

Preparing for the metal grate to be put in with the pillar
and another layer of cement. This is turning out to be quite the process.

The students pointed out how well they were working together to send the
buckets from where they mixed the cement to the hole. Apparently bucket brigades
are still used in some parts of the world, at least in construction.

Here's a better look at the back row of the school. That bridge was built for the
ground laying/breaking ceremony to be held on Thursday.
