We've had a busy and industrious
series of days doing service at our two sites. So far, we've painted a 3
bedroom house, inside and out, and, at the orphanage, painted 4 rooms, built
and painted several sets of shelves, and mildly refurbished some appliances.
Your children are amazing workers! Uncomplaining and cooperative.
(The tiny sign above is written on the wall in the orphanage.)
They have also all spoken about
how much they value the interactions they're having with the people here--our
hosts and their wonderful family (who are still feeding us very well); the
orphans, who are equally enthralled by them; the small family whose home
we painted. Yesterday, my group had the opportunity to play
some street soccer with the neighborhood boys, and today's played cricket.
Tomorrow and Saturday we're taking some well-earned break time and heading to the Caribbean beach, then hiking to some falls, finally doing some "turtleing"--watching turtles lay eggs at night.Finally, there have been many and varied card games, driveway soccer, rain hikes, and much laughter and conversation. Everyone is doing well.
