Day 9






Today was an out and about day. A group from Feed the Children came to the school. We thanked them for all they have done and are doing for the children. There was another trip to the animal orphanage and 2 groups of students went for music and dance competitions. The school seemed so quiet with so many students gone. The team went in many different directions today. Some were involved in the clinic, some went to watch the music competitions, some went to the orphanage, some went on walks around the valley, and some taught classes and enjoyed the children. At the end of the day, we all met together to share a delicious meal at a great Indian restaurant. We are all tired tonight and will try to post more tomorrow.

Yesterday, I found myself with 240 kids alone at the animal orphanage. It was exhausting but they were wonderful and so well behaved. Today was better, I had several teachers and again the kids were wonderful. Tomorrow I am sneaking away from the group and visiting Esther’s family so that will be great! Thanks for your prayers! Love Carroll

Carroll: Happy Birthday....I can't wait to hear the stories about the baloon ride....:)

Please give our love to Pamela when you visit her. Let her know that she and her family continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

They are indeed, a very special family.

Love you girl and can't wait to hear all about this year's trip.

Hi, Carroll,

240 kids to one chaperone - that is really testing one's limits! I'm glad that you had more help today. Enjoy your visit with Esther's family . . . and I know that our Carol would ask you to say, "Hi" to them from her.
Love,
Steve and Suzanne
