Visiting New Schools

This week we visited 6 new schools and hope

 to start a project with one of them.  Got our contractor 

started on the Twikatane health post and the Bauleni school.  

At one school they really had to pump hard and a long time
 before water would come out.
 Hope we can just do a bit of repair work to make it better.  

Grandpa trying to learn their language.  They thought that was pretty funny.

They hold classes here for Grades 1-3 because the closest school is very far.
 55 students, one teacher.

Inside of that thatched classroom.  No desks, dirt floor.  

The community had two shallow wells.
 This boy is pulling up the water to water the cattle. 

Words in their language for counting.

Work at Twikatane.  The church is building a health post
 and the community is building a staff house and latrines.
 We are racing to see who finishes first.  They got a head start already.

Such beautiful trees here.  Sorry for the washed out picture through our windshield. 

At month end, we get all the power and water bills paid
 and input all the vehicle odometer readings and gas cards replenished.
 Also dealing with accident reports for two accidents
 of young missionaries this month.  Thankfully no one was hurt.
