We left our hotel at 8:15 this morning
(15 minutes earlier) because one of our Christian Ed. teams needed to travel one hour to their remote village and we'll do the same tomorrow.

Carol reports that their team, which
includes Julia, had a very "trying" day
teaching 35 children in a building about 10 feet by 15 feet in dimension. They were stuck inside because it was still pouring rain in the morning and early afternoon. The children ranged in age from 1 - 10. Most of the children came to both the morning and afternoon sessions each of which lasted for two hours. They needed to be very creative in choosing activities with such limited space.

The ESL team had a much easier experience. We had the teenagers today in both sessions. They all had at least some knowledge of English and most seemed pretty eager to learn more. We had an enjoyable time teaching new vocabulary, reading books, writing, and playing games. We were amazed that most of them had cell phones but didn't seem to have much experience with stickers.
The sun came out this afternoon and we're all feeling encouraged!
