Please forgive the delay between the writing and the posting of these blog entries. The spirit is willing by the electricity is weak! Electricity cuts and other issues sadly make it likely that this will continue into the next team, which arrives tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 23.

Below are some fun photos we took the last couple days.

Lois sitting with one of her pupils. Lois was sent by the Palmyra, PA
GBC to visit their sponsored child as well as their Hand in Hand
School at Yembi III.

Everybody was happy on this All-School Party Day
at Yembi. Margaret is seen here moving to the groove.
Yes, in case you're wondering they've both still got it!

In Africa the stones have to be removed from the rice
before it is prepared. That's what these happy ladies are doing.

Dinner's on. After an appetizer of peanuts, dishes of
Beef and pork stews, rice, and oranges were served.
See an earlier posting for Lois' and Margaret's account
of the event.

The children lining up with the dishes that
were told the day before to bring from home.

Dr. Augustine & Marie-Helene Hibaile's adorable
little guy Jeff. See Margeret's earlier blog entry
about our lunch with the Hibaile's.

We were all ou-ing and aw-ing at this sight
of a mother dog nursing a kitten at the Cattin school.
Seemed an appropriate sight for a team doing orphan care to see!

Margaret and Elizabeth consulting at the chalk board.

Teacher Elizabeth is doing a great job with her students.
She is using a new exercise to teach the letters.

Lois Wilson and Barb Wooler visited the Cite de la Paix School, whose partner church is the Marysville, Ohio GBC. The level 2 teacher was absent so level one and two were combined today. We were very impressed with the control and teaching skill of Teacher Joseph.

Teacher Joseph with one of his students doing subtraction at the board.

Level III class meeting under the trees. The pastor (see photo below) of the Cite de la Paix church told us that they would be starting to build school rooms for their orphans when dry season arrives (January)
Pastor Simon with wife Helene and their youngest child. Pastor Simon has done a wonderful job mobilizing his congregation to care for orphans. Combining all 3 classrooms they are educating and feeding over 150 orphans!
