Went to the hardware booth to buy a few items for the village this wk-end.   Had a good visit as usual.  

Today at the center we had a really  FUN, relaxed time with the kiddos.   Some were taking tests so there were not as many as normal.   We were able to do some crafts/games that require smaller groups so that was GREAT !!    Got a few good pictures of the kids with crafts and games !

Headed to the A/G elementaire school for the end of school party for this year.   WOW !!!!  What a production and they were on African time... haha    Was to start at 4 pm and got started little after 
5 pm .    This is what they do.     Got some really  GREAT pictures of the parents, staff and children.  Some were dressed UP and some were just casual.   Knew you would enjoy seeing all the  "different" scenes.     They asked Mr. McGowen and Madame McGowen to hand out a present to 2 of the children. 

Really broke Peggy's heart that there were a lot of the Talabe boys in trees just "watching" and some of them actually came into the school and watched and watched...... just want to be a part !!!
They do not get to go to the public schools (most of them)  as it cost money.   We were sure glad that the school did not make them go out or leave, as they were sooo enjoying all the activities and they were so respectful of the event.

While posting the blog.... door bell rang, got up and there was one sweet little boy asking for a drink, so we gave him a glass of water and it was gone faster than you could blink !!!    GOD BLESS these precious children !!!   Give a cup of water, hug, smile, kind word, banana in HIS name !!!
