MORE PICS FROM THE SCHOOL




















Today we took 240 kids on 3 buses - they sat 4 to a seat. Did they complain or fuse? No. Instead that sang in four part harmony all the way there! It was chillingly beautiful! They enjoyed the animal orphanage. One of the things that is so different here is that kids are very independent. There is very little interference with trying to herd kids along until necessary. They are not asked to be quite unless necessary. They are not kept in small groups on outings like our children would be. At the games the other day 2 little kids walked out the gate and came back a few minutes later. They are very independent. It is definitely different. So, while we were at the orphanage, they were walking pretty freely everywhere which wasn't bad because we were the only school group in the area at the time.
The cheetah is the one animal we did not get to see on the safari, so at least we saw one that had been rescued at the animal orphanage!
One thing I love to see is how the older brothers and sisters take care of the little ones. No matter if they are on the street or at school. It is cool to watch!
Tina, Thanks so much for your comment. I love getting comments! It makes me feel good.

Would love to hear that 4 part harmony!!! What a bus ride! You didn't happen to have a recorder, did you?
These kids are going to tug at your heart for the rest of your life.
I love you,
mom
While I didn't just turn you loose when you were little, you'd certainly fit in with the children there regarding independence!!
