We drove about 30 minutes through the city and out to the country...then veered off the highway towards the village. And then it was nothing but country dirt road for the next 45 minutes...
At the school we had a warm welcome awaiting us from the headmaster, the head of the PTA and teachers...
We paired up to read to grades 1 through 5, the teachers in the lower grades had to help translate the stories to the kids in the lower grades, who are still learning English and speak only the local language. Oh the excitement on their faces as we walked into the classes and read to them! And the sheer joy the all expressed as we gave them each a book to read! Believe me, we were equally excited and simply overjoyed to have been able to do this for them. You can see what I mean from these pictures. Enjoy!
Do you see what I mean by the excitement on their faces!
That's all for now...more to come tomorrow!
