I am so excited to be able to send a few photos to you. It isn't as easy as I wish, but if I load them each to their own post it works. Yesterday I came and worked on e-mails and tried to blog in the morning. Right after lunch I went to work with the children doing some painting. Level 3 is much messier than the older children, but we had a good time and I got some good photos of the children. Two of them are posted if you just scroll down after you read this. It is very hot here but cools down in the night, so much that I had to put a sheet over me last night. We went shopping last night for food. Linda, Brittany and a couple folks from here went north for an overnight stay and they had to take food along. While we were at the market a political rally just finished. There was a constant stream of motorcycles traveling past so we had to wait until they all went by before we could cross the street. It took a while. I wish I had taken my camera with me to get a bit of video. You wouldn't believe the excitement. It was like a parade going by only fast with people standing along the side of the street cheering. Elections are in April. They could change the wole landscape of the way the country works. No matter what happens about half the people will be unhappy. Sounds like elections in the US doesn't it.
Brittany's job here is an interesting one. She works with micro loans to women for business ventures such as growing things or selling things in the market. Payback for the loans is going very well and each of the participants has paid each installment of her loan on time. More groups are organizing and that is why she is traveling. Linda is checking on some agriculture things. She is working with folks to help them grow foods with more nutrative value, she has also been working with the well project which takes up most of her time.
Have a great day!
