Quiet day at school

It sure is quiet around here with all the kids gone! We have a lot of projects in the works though so things are moving quickly here. One major project is the new kitchen. We wanted to wait for break so that meals wouldn’t be affected. This is the outside which won’t change much but you can see to the left of the kitchen is an open area. That will all be closed in and the inside of the kitchen will be expanded. The wall at the back of this photo is being taken out and moved farther back to make room for a bigger stove. In this last photo I am standing in the doorway of the kitchen, we walked into it during lunch time and with no ventilation the smoke was terrible. I really don’t know how Ann and Faith could work in there. But after the break they will have a brand new kitchen, store and place to keep fire wood. I’ll post pictures of the finished kitchen in a week or so.

Here’s Caffe, Ta Te’ and Caffe’s uncle all studying on Tuesday afternoon. I kept kidding the boys when I’d see them around the compound asking them why they weren’t studying! One time Caffe held up his school book to prove that’s what they were doing! Another time Ta Te’ told me they were just taking a break. You would not believe the difference in Ta Te’ since being here just 24 hours, he smiles and jokes with us and feels at home here. I thank God for that.
