We made a visit to a rural school and received the royal treatment.  This choir welcomed us as we drove in singing a song welcoming us to their school.  It was great.  They were really putting their best foot forward.
 The next three pictures show the school rooms for these children.  In the younger classes (the third picture), the kids sit on floors because they don't have enough desks.  The second picture below shows the older class in their desks.  Normally, they wouldn't have this many students at once because half of them meet in the morning and the other half meet in the afternoon.  We were very impressed that, as we had requested, their teachers had finalized a priority list of needs with good cost estimates.  We are recommending that the church provide building materials for a 3 classroom building, Latrines, desks, and other school supplies.  The community will do all the building.



The video clip shows preschool children at another school learning English in a fun way by chanting "We are Walking" (or jumping, or marching, or ...)
Found a KFC!  Finger-lickin' good.

  1. KFC was probably the highlight of the day. How is the food there?
    Love the pictures and the glimpse of your mission.

    1. actually the food is good here. We eat about like we did at home and the restaurant food is cheap and good. We can't get some things and the selection is narrow but we aren't losing any weight.
