School is underway. I got to help the 4th graders with long division today. Getting to pull out of class with Ms. Brittany has more to do with with the attention than with the math, and I love it! Plus it gives the teachers in the classes fewer students so they too can pour more love and attention into each individual kid. The 5th and 6th grade boys brought their machete's to school today. Nothing's wrong. In fact, it's a great thing! A community effort is under way to clear out the bush and jungle on the land next to the clinic for a small soccer field and park. So the kids got a free day from uniforms and are getting out of class an hour early to be part of the project. And they are stoked! Last night a group of boys and some ladies from the community, in a matter of hours, cleared a huge track of the land in impressive style. We are all looking forward to watching the kids play in the park. (I will admit I am not used to watching our rambunctious 11 year olds swing 2 foot blades, whacking away at everything in sight, and I hope not to have to open the clinic today. We go on in hope!) Here's to the fun!
