A typical week-day here is going to bed early – at least by 8 pm and getting up very early – at least by 6 am. A quick breakfast of bread with peanut butter, maybe a banana, tea or coffee and then we walk to school at 7:15 am. As I said, school starts at 8 am. They are now preparing to give the children some examinations, written or oral as the school session is over at the end of October. This gives the parents a chance to see how the children are doing. The kids have a couple of months off for their break and then start again. Today, we were doing reviews with the children.
We took a walk today to a nearby community to see a house that is being built for a woman whose husband passed away. Julie from Australia has provided the money to build this house from her fundraising efforts last year. It cost $1500.00 to build a small house here. It was a lovely experience seeing this in progress with the Mama and her little son helping with the building. Her baby was sound asleep strapped to her back.
Sunday was also a great day. Emmanuael and Patience took Wendy and I too an Anglican church service here. It was lovely and after we were invited to the home of two doctor’s who live and work here with there family. They have been here for 8 years. It was a lovely lunch and they proudly showed us their donkey – the only donkey in the area.
On the way home we met Patience’s family who are just lovely. What a great day we had! Tuesday is Goat Market day and I am buying more goats and care packages. More later...............
