Finished our first full week of teaching - whew!  It was exhausting, exciting, challenging, humbling and fun!  We are getting to know our students and enjoying each of their special and then again not so special qualities.  They worked together to draw pictures of a person to label the body parts and we put the pictures on the wall - they were thrilled with the recognition. 

Sean and I shared photos of our respective families and the kids were very interested in the names etc. 

Big weekend for us...trip to the market on Saturday and to pick up our bread - Sean and I will be correcting and grading our first exam - then visitors for dinner.  We have the parents of a good friend of Nancy's - the classrooms are named in his honor - staying with us and we will have Martin [teacher at Manow and all around go to guy for anything we need] and Jacob [ project manager for the classroom project] all for dinner along with the chef - Ngwitika.  She is our house helper and part time cook....even her beans taste good to me! 

On Sunday we will have the dedication of the classrooms with many speakers - Tanzania style - it should be a long long event :).  We have taught the kids to sing "This Little Light of Mine" which goes perfectly with Nancy's theme of the light of education.  The kids have enjoyed singing and learning the song.  It should be a great day to celebrate a great accomplishment - Nancy and her team at Gloria Dei and in Olympia have worked very hard to make this happen.
