On our first working day in Butuo, my mom and my aunt stayed behind to rest. The rest of us traveled to Jizhi ( 基只 ) to check the construction progress of the school there.
After we got back to Butuo, we visited the Butuo Secondary school to re-inspect the large Grade 7-9 building Sowers helped build in 2005; then we interviewed 10 Grade 10 students receiving Sowers' scholarship. Finally, we visited the home of one of the students.
Breakfast was at a restaurant on the main street in Butuo.
