Group two arrived on Tuesday- 13 more teachers. We are now
27 in the house with 19 high school students arriving Sunday (tomorrow). It
should be interesting! The kids are coming as part of the Schools4Schools
program- they raised the most money this year.
They will be out of the house most of the time visiting the different
schools. Our cook Grace will be now cooking for all of us. Speaking of Grace,
after going with her to see her village, I asked if she knew a good tailor (that
is how most clothes are made –not mass produced, but by hand using a pedal
sewing machine.) Anyway, her sister and sister-in-law are both tailors, so she
took me to see her sister and she us currently making a dress, skirt and …(surprises
for the girls). The work is amazing and she did it all in three days- picking
them up tomorrow. Cost- about $10.00 per item. Her name is Florence.
We are running out of weekends…next weekend is the
conference, the weekend after the Safari, and then rafting the Nile and home.
Headed back to Mama T’s (Mother Theresa’s) this afternoon with Kristine- who
will probably be back to stay one day, and tomorrow it’s St. Jude’s Orphanage.
