back to Freedom Lodge
We are now back at Freedom Lodge, our "close to Ngateu "place to live. the new group is on their way, the Zanzibaris are on their way back tomorrow and work resumes. My brother, Wayne is with us here and that's been good. He's with Operation Bootstrap and it's good to share stories.
BUT the exciting thing for us, we stopped at Ngateu on the way back to Freedom Lodge - and they were so excited about the "initiative" they had taken. And we are excited, too.
It is unusual for this school team - like unheard of- to do the things they did while we've been gone. They had tables built for the teachers - a suggestion at the board meeting, they took out the "carpet" ( linoleum) in the computer lab and washed the floors carefully, they put tinfoil on the new shelves, so the wet wood would not ruin the books, the new books are on the shelves, the have made a list of books that should be purchased with the next bit of money, they are whitewashing the staff latrine - amazing number of "initiatives" in this week. I am thinking it's a miracle. And they had someone take out all the computer junk. ( I hope it went to recycle, but it's gone and they were very pleased.)
Hot days, cooler nights , full, amazing moon, great people - such a life. M
