The dust was so thick in the air on the road to Wikus today that it was like fog. We spent a long time (4 hours) getting all of the students sorted out into 3 classes: Speaking, Reading and Writing. I did a little sample teaching in each. Hopefully, James, will follow through when he meets the classes on Friday. I don't go back until next Tuesday.
Wednesday - January 25
We have been without power almost 24 hours now. This becomes a problem for food stored in the refrigerator. There are very strong, gusty winds this morning. A couple of buildings behind our compound may lose their roofs in this wind - they flap alot, making much noise. They are metal sheet roofs.
Went to Smile Africa and sorted 69 women into 3 class levels by interview. Oh my - a long, drawn-out process.
There were 3 young women there from BRR video-taping testamonies of the women. Don't know the organization or what they were doing. Will look them up on the internet. I have some concerns regarding exploitation.
On my first trip to Romania we met the matron of a House for Children whose parents suffered from TB. She didn't want any cameras because a group had come in and taken many photos, went home and raise funds from those photos and the House of Children never saw any of the money.
Will leave off for this week and start next week with Thursday's activities. Blessings to all of my readers.
