Well, we have logged in our first week at the orphanage! We have been so busy and we are starting some really neat programs that we are super stoked about! I hope you are too! Here are the main ones:
Maintanance: this will take place in the mornings while the kids are at school. There are 2 kids that are too young to go to school and they are always there to "help out" with our projects.
a few of them are: painting doors, fixing leaky toilets, clearing paths, digging ditches, and much much more.
Tutoring program: A couple of the teenagers are not doing well in school. As of now there is little structure for the kids when they come home from school. Our job to to create some structure for the after school time. There will be tutoring time and other fun activities.
Garden project: There is a garden at the cottages that has been successful in the past. Recently a goat got in and did some damage. Khenani is the teenager who has done most of the work. We will be working with him to plant some new crops and also make a corner of the garden into a place where the younger kids can each have a small plot of their own.
Typing program: There is a computer in the office at the cottages. We have it all set up and working now even with a printer! THere is a typing program that some of the kids have used before. Our job is monitoring the room a and setting up times for people to work on their lessons.
Whewh! We have a lot going on and time seems to fly by!
It is great to have projects that we feel competent in completing!

Great to hear what you are doing. Were you able to distribute the shoes?
So I thought updates were sent to my email when you posted a new update, BUT I never got any, so I decided to stop by and see what was up, and clearly I have missed a ton! SO I will be stopping by more often, and I really need to catch up:) I love you guys!
Sounds like a good work load!
