Dr. Jarvis here. It is 10:43 in the morning. We have been having trouble blogging here at the local Internet Cafe so I came early to get a better start on the process. I just left the students busily working in the classrooms and in the new and extremely busy little health center at Sajuka School. Today, the Adult Literacy Team members are out in the courtyard observing as the Craft Center women are making tie-dye clothing, table cloths, bags and other hand-sewn crafts for us. By purchasing crafts from them during our visit, we infuse some much-need financial support into the Craft Center to keep it running strong.
Later today or tomorrow, students will update you here with their latest stories and adventures. I will simply give a photo gallery "teaser" to show you some of the amazing things that have happened since our arrival now four days ago. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words . . . hope you enjoy them.
First come photos of our arrival and welcome ceremony from last Saturday, four days ago. It was filled with song and dance performances by the students, the staff, the teachers and the whole Bay Path Delegation! After that, you will see random scenes from our Bay Path delegation showing that we work hard and we also play hard! There is a photo of the Bay Path Library here at Sajuka School. Adjacent to the library is our new School Infirmary that has been taking dozens and dozens of patients, little and big, students, staff, and even one villager already. Classroom scenes follow where we are teaching not only grades pre-school through 6th year but adults at the Crafts Center as well. And when a little person gets injured on the playgound, Maddie even provides much-appreciated transportation to the Infirmary.
At the end of the day, after a hearty African dinner, we are ready to sleep!
