“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” popular phrase contributed by Laurel

Today began as most others, except for the growing anticipation of the first of our group to actually leave us tomorrow: Patricia, Conor and Chris.

We ate our usual breakfast of scrambled egg/omelette and toast with apricot jam and coffee. Then, the group experienced our first gifting experience when Patty and the boys gave out the soccer uniforms, balls, cleats and socks. The children looked overjoyed.

Shirley and Laurel went to the health clinic and mainly assisted with paperwork. The children at the school were amazing as always. I find myself surprised at how much I have grown to love them – truly and deeply – in such a short amount of time.

Before lunch, I learned that Dorothy, the KG2 teacher, had contracted malaria. The afternoon tutoring was enjoyable.
