The team is off and running, eager to pick up where we left off the day before. Four of us were able to sneak off to the market to gather supplies...hoping we would find the familiar labels that we knew could handle to tough job a had of us. The little things we take of granted are such blessings.
We had a list of things we wanted to accomplish and, as we checked on task off the list, we added a few more. Today was special though...some of the boys came to help us clean part of their rooms. It was a joy to share this particular project with them. Though this was light work, it was so much fun getting to know these boys as we were working. They are such a joy...talking to, joking around with.
Unfortunately, the day's supplies began to run low, so we had to send some more members out to retrieve them and luckily found some time for a break. But instead of lounging around with a Cliff Bar, a couple of us rounded up a few boys for a game of Jinga. Although the language barrier took time to get over, we were able to share loads of laughter and smiles. When the members returned, we knocked out the remaining tasks for the day and decided to return to the hotel before the sun set completely. Before turning in for the night, we grabbed some grub and booked to home in hopes to keep dry from the sudden downpour.
