We worked very hard today helping with drainage improvements around the home. Here is me in action... (Mike, don´t think I´m going to try this at home....)
Then we broke for lunch. As Diane mentioned the conversations are quite interesting. Something about nuclear fusion and beyond. I heavily participated in that conversation...
Later we spent time with the director of the school. She shared the background stories of many of the children. All different stories, each one amazing. It´s miraculous that some of these kids are even alive. All were malnourished and are very small for their age. Many of them at ages not much older than 7 were the primary caretaker of their younger siblings.
But they are now clean, fed, being educated, and happily doing their chores!! They love to play with each other. The soccer skills around here are incredible.
The kids enjoy their classroom and their dorm room (each of the dorm rooms contain about 60 bunks with rows stacked 3 high) with additional mattresses spread on the floor. On each bunk bed is their 1 towel and 1 outfit.
Diane and I are having an amazing time and wish you could all be here with us (I'm sure there are enough beans to go around).
See you soon,
Lori
