Slow and Steady on Day 3

Here we are on day 3 and still feeling the shock of such a changed lifestyle.  We teach at a school every morning and the children, of course are irresistable.  There are 20 children between 3 and 6 with one teacher in a small room with a dirt floor. The teacher has taught here for 15 years and built the little building herself so it is run privately.  The children are eager to learn and love whatever we bring to teach with.  Ben has spent a lot of time with little ones lined up to ride on his shoulders and Michaelas arms are always full.


We are staying with a very nice family who have 21 yr old twin boys and a 10 year old daughter.  They have electricity but no running water.  The cold bucket showers each day have actually been quite refreshing and i am especially grateful for the strong arms that carry all those many buckets of water each day for the 6 of us to use plus their own family!  One five gallon bucket provides a lovely shower including a hair wash!

Will try to post some photos soon .  We are at an internet cafe that is very slow and each photo can take several minutes.



We are off to visit Raegan's favorite orphanage this afternoon and are excited to take some surprises from the massive amounts of wonderful donations we were able to bring with us!
