Sunday afternoon, when we popped up to the house for a visit, Josephine was working on this mat.

A lady we visited out in the field (to drop off clothes that had been donated). She danced when we met with her. Apparently she is actually a little crazy.

We found Oliver, Aivani and Davis. Oliver and Aivani have been taken in by one old lady, and Davis by another. They all look better than ever.

Fellow volunteers have set up a new day care center in an empty room at St James Secondary School. We all helped paint and decorate. The center will be able to sustain itself as there are already matrons at the school (who look after the boarders at night), and there is also food available there. The volunteers will continue to supplement this.

We visited this school for an afternoon as we had been asked to talk to the children about the importance of education! As always, we were given a really warm welcome. A tour followed by singing, dancing and speeches.
