Greetings from Noah's Ark Children's Home! We can say we all had a very good sleep last night and no one was up all hours of the night. Yesterday when we arrived we were greeting by the new Marching Band! It has only been in existence since January but they were wonderful. It was such a thrill and we all felt like royalty. They even had flowers for us!
Today has been busy for us. Taryn, Ceara and Chuck had a meeting with the heads of staff and are now formulating a plan. Neil, Darlene and Paul (a fellow from Germany) put together the BBQ for Piet and Pita. No pieces were missing and we have even turned it on and it works! Sue has been helping with some of the babies at Piet and Pita's, as well as the nursery. The ones who have been in the nursery have had the experience of getting soiled.
Taryn, Ceara and Darlene had the experience of going to the market for the fruit and vegetables - what an eye opener. Often as we walked through we would smell the smell of meat that had been in the sun too long! The grocery store is definitely not set up like ours and the choices are not nearly what we have. We will begin to prepare for our Canada Day celebration on Saturday with the children - we are looking forward to sharing about Canada.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and we will post again soon!
What an action packed first day.So glad you all slept ok. Thant's not the case here with the heat. It may be hotter here than there! Great to hear about what you're already doing. We're praying for good health and good rapport with everyone there.
