The Last Twenty Four Hours

In the last twenty four hours or so I have been able to take some interesting photos.

The house mothers playing pairs/memory to practise colours during their English lesson this morning.


The toddlers, Esther, Abigail and Gloria, counting with an older girl, Helen. .


Lonna bathing her son Moses. This is how all the toddlers are bathed, several times a day.


Workers remodelling a building.


Men going off to hunt with bows and arrows, they just randomly walked past when I was at the gate practising English with a guard.


This boy walked past the gate pulling his truck behind him. He told me had made it himself.



This was taken from one of the girls' dorms looking towards their kitchen/dining room during yesterday's storm. The water was ankle deep!


The pre schoolers carrying water so they can do some water painting on the dorm walls.



Toddlers making music.

The Last Few Weeks

Thanks to the recent donation of an electric sewing machine (from Australia), I've spent lots of time sewing lately; repairing orphan and hospital clothes and sundry items, sewing labels on baby blankets, making skirts and hospital scrubs. The only other sewing machines around are treadle  ones that only do a straight stitch, so it's great to be able to zigzag. I've still been doing some adult English teaching and tutoring at risk students.

I'm constantly amazed at the strength of the local women. And they're amazed I can't carry anything on my head.

Pre-schoolers painting the church with water, they loved it!

Charcoal irons, I don't iron my clothes!



My Easter break project, every child wrote/drew two letters to their sponsors. Even the babies had their hands traced and added some scribbles.
