Day 167 – Tuesday 13th July 2010

So we try again!

This time there were still only 2 teachers but 40 students when I arrived, but two more staff arrived in quick succession.

So we began teaching, and waited for the senior staff to arrive. They were only 2 hours late today.

It was good to finally get back into a classroom and to teach. I have missed it. It is so much easier than working with adults!

Armorel was a fully fledged doctor again today, seeing many patients, and dealing amazingly well.

She is very impressive.

Tonight we were invited out for dinner to Hanneke’s house. She is a lady who has adopted some local children who had been abandoned. We had a fun evening and I got to play games and generally be a big kid. It was great fun!

They are two adorable kids, but with such a past. Both abandoned, one by the roadside and one in a hotel room, in the first weeks of their lives, and they still carry with them the pain and trauma.

Through this though they smile and have hope. Amazing!

It is time for bed and maybe an ER too. We are running low on episodes though, so may need to ration them if they are going to last the year.
