End of week one!

Prepared by Ashley Zobeck

Today, we learned that Kathleen would be leaving us early. We had one last day to spend with her, Eddie and Maggie.

Kathleen stayed at the St. James Guest House trying to get last minute tasks in order while Eddie headed out to the construction site finishing the hard work week strong. Patty and Christy were busy at the library focusing on the computer mouse which ended up taking the whole lesson time. Tara spent her time at the clinic with the midwife doing prenatal and postnatal appointments and Lauren struggled with the language barrier at the registration desk taking vitals and writing new patient folders.

Jamie, Maggie, and I walked to the public school and soon realized that there were not many students to teach that day. Maggie memorized a story during her English lesson and ended with a game of hang man. Jamie and I spent the day with the KG singing songs, playing games, and realizing our first test of patience.

We decided to not plan an activity following the library tutorials; however, ended up having a very laid back and enjoyable night with each other.
