Another day of work at the school. We got a full day in as the rain didn’t come till later in the day. It is so cool seeing the walls on the classrooms get bigger and higher. This is tough work working in the hot sun with heavy cement and blocks. Our young people are doing a lot of hard work and working very hard.
The few children that visit us at the school (they are the grandsons of the custodian) are getting used to us. Today Jillian and Brianne had one of them in their arms.
We walked to the cocoa trees this afternoon to see where chocolate comes from! That was cool!
Supper was hard at a pizza place a few minutes walk from the hotel. Just a narrow store front with a few plastic tables and chairs. But oh it was good pizza! Next some of our team got local ice cream.
The most popular vehicle is the motor bike. There are almost as many motor bikes as there are bikes in Holland! They bill here there and everywhere. You have to keep your eyes open when on the road.
In devotions we talked about showing mercy, and about hungering and thirsting for righteousness. We are thankful for the ministry of EduDeo and Synergia as they are the hands and feet of Jesus showing mercy and helping people.
