thank you for your lovely messages of support and encouragement - it is lovely to read them. I am uploading some pictures from various places over the last few days, to give you an idea of the progress that the country is try to make and to highlight the amount of work that still needs to be done.
Everyone we meet values that that we are here and that we are trying in a very small way to help them to rebuild their lives. For example, a gentleman wanted to charge us 10 dollars each to enter a museum (which was free), when he found out that we were teachers, he did not want the money!
They also value peace and one of the great things we saw today was the dismantling of a United Nations base, which indicates that they really want to put the civil war behind them.
Tomorrow we are back to school. Mr Power to Mandela High and Miss Yardley to Hope Prep. Mr Power is teaching about the elementary canal and Miss Yardley will be teaching Fere Jaques and London Bridge. Believe it or not both of us were practising it in the car on the way to school the other day - the driver stayed very quiet !!
Glad you are both enjoying your week so far. Hope the teaching went well - don't envy that!
ReplyDeleteHave been following your progress all week, although my comments seem to have disappeared from your blog! Not sure what's heppened there!
Anyway, love all the photos, especially impressed with Barnaby Bear guest appearing!
Enjoy your last few days. Wish I was there.
Sarah.
