Spent the day interviewing teachers. What an amazing group of men and women. The drama class won the district competition and tomorrow they compete at the regional level. Wayne an I are going to cheer them on. I asked what we could do to help the drama productions and Lillian said she could use bolts of beautiful material and the sewing class could make costumes. The sewing class is running 3 sessions a day with 50 girls enrolled. Wayne treated me to 2 icecream cones today and then I took a lovely nap. I look out my window at flowering trees I have never seen before --a delight.
There are a number of homes that were burned out around the school --but the school has been untouched. We have 311 sstudents enrolledd with more coming back each daay. Many families fled in the chaos. Only 3 students were absent today and that is pretty typical of attendance. I went into physics class--and no electricity----students copying the periodic table--I could just picture the class with light, charts and diagrams covering the empty walls and a tv with a dvd on fluid motion and dynamic movement. (I know all my English teacher buddies are impressed with my physics IQ). Every room I go in I picture transformation--light- color -information--There is so much that all of us can do.
These kids are so hungry to learn! And so easy to love! I went into the 9th graDE CLASS to thank them for praying for Wayne and me last night at the time of our meeting with the Rotary. I told them how the lovely people at the meeting had opened their hearts to their story. And that on Sat. morning 5 Rotary members would be coming to visit. They were full of smiles! My love to all of you. betsy

I love this blogging. I can so feel like being there-playing with the children, watching how happy they are and wondering how and why. The flowers at the guest house and yes the ungali! Wayne, I would prefer you ate more sesame balls for me than ungali. I think they could probably be better for you too! I hope you are taking care of your pants...whatever that means!!!!!!! that Bethany told you to do! Love, prayers and blessings to both of you. Give big Patrick a hug for me also and don't forget little Patrick. I haven't seen him in any of the pictures and big P said he was starting school there in January. Love, Judie
