Today started out with some early morning excitement when Jim locked Karen on top of the water tower! I heard her yelling, ‘Help, I can’t get down’ as I was eating my breakfast and thought it was an elaborate prank, but no, she really was locked on the top of the tower.  Jim insists he thought she had already gone down after they had done an inspection of a broken tank. Sure, Jim, we believe you….

The last few days have been busy ones working at the school to get the final students’ photos and letters. We are still missing a few who have been away due to illness and are hoping to find them this morning or Monday.  The hard work of cataloging all the the photos and scanning all the letters has begun and those will be sent out to sponsors as soon as we can.  We’ve also enjoyed the opportunity to give small gifts sent down by sponsors to some of the children. Their smiles are so beautiful!

We’ve also had seen some amazing sunrises along the canal, had some lovely walks with the kids, and lots of chalk-art fun with some particularly talented young artists. A couple of our older kids got dressed up for a school party and it was fun to see them looking like young adults!

As punishment for locking Karen on the tower, I’ll do my best to make Jim write the next blog!
