more baseball
The pictures posted for the baseball game were great and captured the excitement that was present! Yesterday Form III had a chance to duplicate the experience. The class was divided into two teams with Marilyn as captain of the Serengettis and David J(as opposed to David I) leading the Lions(simbas). David I was the pitcher and I believe that the Serengettis won! The highlight was the concept adopted by some of the girls that when your friend ran the bases you ran with her to give her support(usually four at a time). Of interest was the group of goats in the outfield!
One of our members had an opportunity to speak with her Form IV student and learned a great deal about commitment to education. When describing her day she said that when she returned home she did a few chores on the small farm but that her main job was to study. She would study in the late afternoon and evening and go to bed around 9:00p.m.. She would arise at 3:30a.m. to resume her studies before getting ready for school. She is why we are here! She is why we ask for support to continue our work here.
We are back at school today for more desk building and book cataloging and teaching. I am full of renewed excitement as we discuss the future of the school and ways that we can help.

Great blog Earla! I just got back today. I'm glad to be home but was feeling down that I couldn't stay longer. Then I read your blog and it reminded me that "we" are the royal "we". I don't have to be there because you are there. You're the girl running the bases and I'm one of the girls running with her for support. I feel much better. My body has no idea what time it is but I can sleep better knowing that the trip and the journey continue.
Wonderful blog, Earla. Larry posted amazing pictures and you augmented them beautifully with your words. One can not sit on the sidelines when the adventure is so compelling. I taste and devour every moment of your work and play as it is brought to life in the blog.
