Just a quick note. We have had fun handing out hygiene kits this week but it is very exhasting in the heat. The kids are so cute but they go to school in the worst of situations. The schools are all dingy, dirty and bare bones. They have either cement floors or dirt floors with bench type desks that are very old. Really just a bench and a table. They have no glass or screens on the windows just open. The roofs are tin so when it pours rain it is very noisy. They have very few books mostly just for the teachers and one delapidated chalk board per classroom. There are dogs and chickens outside and very few have make shift slides out of a boad or one ball. The toilets which DIC has built are outside but have flush toilets in them like in a campground. The water is at the well outside. The funny thing is that most of the kids seem happy to be there and they are so appreciative of the kits. They tell us saw-bie-dee and cobjie (thank you). Each day you feel good about what you have done. Any way tell the kids to love there beautiful school and be thankful for them. Love you all. Rod We got your email and I will send you one soon.
