1. We painted the classrooms at Impact Ministries. They were bare and dirty walls to start with and here are some of the finished products! It was fun and took a couple days to do.
2. Implementing classroom management at a preschool at St. Kizito's Babies Home. This is an orphanage and we are helping run the preschool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9-12 am. The kids are absolutely nuts - one minute they are laughing, the next they are crying and often it is because they are hitting one another, stealing each other's clothes, sick, or getting toys stolen away from them. They pee everywhere and run absolutely wild unless we sing Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. For some reason, they stare at us in awe when we sing. Things aren't only crazy though, slowly but surely they are getting better and we are getting more of a structure going and now it's only chaos sometimes. I love them! Here are some pictures:
Me and Paul. This kid is seriously crazy, one of the ones I always have to chase around, as well as his nearly exact lookalike friend Amulamu!
On Martyr's Day, June 3, we didn't have preschool, but instead went to this catholic church for prayers - we rode there in this truck. It was an interesting cultural experience to say the least!
Andrew, the head teacher trying to herd them in! This man goes off on the craziest tangents I have ever heard - we think that he should be a philosophy teacher instead. We love him and he loves the kids, but it has been a challenge to work with him!
This is a testimony that things are getting better - they are actually sitting in their seats!
We taught them how to form a line by getting them to do a choo-choo train! They actually are getting the hang of it!I don't have enough time to finish up, but stay tuned for more about projects in a few days! Life is hard and totageya (crazy) here at times, but I love it!
