training and stuff....

Hello everyone, hope you are having a good day!

Its been a good week - no elephants in sight, got my assignment finished and sent (mind you by the end of it I was so fed up reading it that it may not make any sense, but its been sent!). Have to start the next one now!

Today we had the usual Sunday without the most precious commodity on earth - water! Almost every Sunday we have no water all day - why? I don't know!! Its fine when you remember to keep some spare!

and.....when the water is off, so is the electricity.....
...it always makes me thankful to have water and light when they come back on in the evening!

Our school project will hopefully begin the next stage in a couple of weeks - we now have enough money for the roofing part, and its exciting to watch it grow, even if it is slowly. Here you can see the progress so far.

This coming week, we have a workshop for 3 days with the trainers who are working in the Presbyteries helping the caregivers in the Early Childhood Centres. The trainers all arrived today and are really happy to see each other - its been two years since they were all together! I reckon there will not be much sleep tonight.

During the week, I have been trying to plan the programme, making sure everything is in place. Fiona helped with a lot of cutting out and stapling together which was great. Part of the workshop will be making materials and my house will have a lot more room in it after the workshop I hope! Thanks to all who sent training boxes in the container. Here you can see some of the piles of stuff in my house...

As the trainers arrived this afternoon I was on hand to greet them - it was a lot of fun!!

Here are four of the 5 men we have ..

and the ladies...........

I hope it will be a successful week - we have a full programme beginning at 8am and maybe finishing late in the evening. I am looking forward to hearing all about what is happening in the field, and we will be introducing Fiona to everyone and hopefully giving her insight into the work she is becoming involved in!

I hope you have light and water wherever you are today. Wishing you a great week.

Blessings

Diane
