Monday 18 January The day starts similar. Malcolm takes the kids to school and we have smoothies for breakfast. The mud is still very slippery from all the rain. Malcolm takes a load of stuff to the day care. I get into researching for the school programme. It's quite overwhelming. Malcolm makes breads. I set lentils and chickpeas to soak. It's frustrating trying to find the right information. There is so much. The school really needs to have their own programm...

Sunday 17 January We get ready to leave for the supermarket by 10, but when we get there it's still shut. We ask the guard when it will open and it's only about 30 min so we decide to wait. Once back we start typing up contracts for the houses while Hannah meets with the lady that arranges the school lunches. Hannah's friend violet also comes by to dry some clothes in the dryer. She also wants to borrow money for her brother. Malcolm stays baking bread while we...

Saturday 16 January Sleeping in isn't possible when there is someone sweeping stones outside your window. It's nice having no pressure. I eat the remaining fried rice for breakfast and tidy things on my phone. The rain comes down like crazy and we have to mop it out the door. The poor guard has to find shelter outside. We discuss part of the lesson. It's after 3pm by the time we eat lunch. We go for a walk down the road and out into the area where the Massi ha...

When the supplies are dropped off I start ironing off stickers off material getting them ready for washing. They will eventually be amazing scrub tops. Malcolm bakes bread. We leave before 10 for our meeting at the girls school. We have to wait nearly half an hour before seeing the head. They really don't have a health programme so wa...

Thursday 14 January It's not a good night. It's hard to get up. But it's lori's last day here. We have our smoothies for breakfast. Malcolm drops the kids at school. After Lori leaves we have to go help make lunches for the school. It ends up being a bit of mission going backwards and forwards getting things. We drop them at the school and the children are very keen to meet us. We stop at the market for a few things and go to the post office and ATM. After we r...
