Wow. Things have been very busy with the group being here. Did I mention that already? There is a group here for 3 weeks, a group of business students from Taylor University- Ft. Wayne. It has been great having help with doing the dishes and boiling the eggs, not to mention extra hands in the classroom! With 18 people in the house though, downtime time seems to be few and far between.
Exciting things are happening though. The kids are enthused to have so many new friends come and spend time with then in the villages, they have even been performing puppet shows which the kids cannot get enough of. Another exciting thing that is happening is with the food program. We now have enough money to provide not only a glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg twice a week for each student, but a piece of bread and a banana as well. How wonderful is that?! A great big thank you to those who helped in providing the funds.
Other great things are in the works as well. We have been looking for land where we can build the Makarios house to host groups as well as staff, in addition to having a room that can facilitate as a classroom for the students. How wonderful it would be to have an actual classroom with desks or tables and the proper supplies!
Sorry I can't write more now. Know that everything is going well, the staff here is learning what is looks like to host a group. It has been a good learning experience thus far, everyone is great.
It has been a long day, and I am off to bed.
Oh, ps- I have gotten two marriage proposals in the last two days. Gotta love it!
