Day 6



Today, we got up and walked down to the IDP Camp, and school. Rachel walks down every Tuesday and Thursday to help at the school, so she offered to take us with her today! It took us about and hour and 45 mins to get there. We were greeted at the school by all of the children as they were on break. Doreen did not have a class today, because she had to do profiles or something like that. She had us grade a lot of the kiddos school notebooks. After school, we walked to Doreen's tent in the IDP camp. She cooked us rice and beans, and we hung out with her until the rest of the crew came down to kill chickens. While we waited for the men to clean the chicken etc. Pastor Jeffery told all of the children the story of David and Goliath, and they sang many songs. Soon it was time to go and we headed back up the mountain. Let me just say some of the best times are driving! Yesterday, we had 9 people in the 8 passenger vehicle and today we had 10 people! Some of the best moments are spent in the car :D When we got back, we showered and headed to the Mendonsa's for dinner. Tonight it was some Asian chicken that Dan made, spring rolls, and Korean pancakes. It was wonderful!

  5. Here they eat three meals a day, or that's what Doreen told us anyway. Chai for breakfast and a later lunch and supper, it they have food.
    Yes Peter has his overalls on backwards and the legs are unsnapped. Actually the other Peter also has his pants on backwards :)
