what fun.

The past few weeks I have been sorting through a storage unit full of donations. I picked out the usable things and organized them, filling my car to the brim. After ESL yesterday, we let the community sort through everything and take whatever they needed or wanted. They have such a communal sense about them that they really only take what they can use and are more than willing to share when people are in need among them. It was really fun to see them so excited about the treasures, and then to see so many of them wearing the new clothes today!

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I go the community for a few hours in the afternoon to play with the kids, both to expose them to English and just have some fun. We blew bubbles today!

Notice the ingenuity: this pirate eye patch is made from a punched-out sunglass lens and a rubber band. Isn't that amazing?

To say the least, we're loving this.
