Friday

This morning we were at the PH & C center. We started the assembly line process and got 500 of the bags packed. Each backpack has a 2 lb bag of rice, a 2 lb bag of sugar, a can of sardines, a notebook, a box of crayons, a pack of coffee, a bracelet, and a ball. We had to stop because we ran out of crayons. So we are praying our missing luggage that has the crayons and some of the backpacks will arrive tomorrow on the cargo flight from Paris. Who knows if it will actually happen. As they say here - TIA. (This is Africa!)
The other part of the team, Brenda and Amy were taking pictures. They got the entire morning class finished. (Here in Africa, you only go to school for half day. All the kids eat lunch at the center, but either have classes in the morning or afternoon.) We are back at the mission residence now for lunch. The photo team is leaving soon to go back to take pictures of the afternoon classes. Caitlin and I are going to go through all the pictures that were taken this morning and change the file to the child's name. Lots to do.
