I am reminded, each trip, how special the members of our team are. Each trip has been peopled with exceptionally warm, humorous, giving, responsible members. This trip is no exception.
Our team members work hard with purpose and good humor. Each task we are given is met with "OK let's go get it done." There is a feeling of camaraderie as we set about our work.
This week we are leveling books. The room we first entered looked like a rubble of discarded boxes and loose books. Our team got down, and today, 3 days later, the room actually looks like a workable class room and the books are ready for teachers to choose books for their classes and for some to be placed in the library.
Judith and I spent the day yesterday helping the front office organize the student's files by making labels for almost 500 folders.
Today, I spent some time observing the principal teach an orientation class. It is impressive to see the way the children respond to her. Everything she had to say was positive, the boys and girls can do everything they are asked. They are rewarded for their attention. It's a good start to the new term.
Now, I must get to work.
