Monday is school day.



Chalk board with classes books

This has to be the poorest school.  These schools are started by a church, and when they get to a valid point the government will step in and help. But the parents still pay some, and this is big reason the education never goes very far.  Poor pay for the teachers.  Children in ragged uniforms with dirt or mud floors. They are fed from one large pot of beans. But they are smiling and welcome us.  They are so happy with the frisbees, and we know every pencil and crayon is needed. And always tea afterward, rice and soup.
Then another church womens group. 
Some observations:  Bad roads, washing by the streams, oxen carts, and hoeing the fields by hand hoe. Some oxen in the fields.
We made our own dinner tonight.  Baked potatoes and cole slaw. 
Each time we get in the car we wash our hands with wet wipes (it's so dusty -red dust) and I've managed to wipe my face.  Now I have a rash for the 3rd day from this.  But we did get mosquito nets yesterday and they are hanging!
We also get a promise they will fix the toliets and showers.  I hope, I hope!
