Saturday is market day for many people but today we had the LCH girls "shop" in our dress shop. Little Dresses for Africa sent pillowcase dresses for us to give to the children here at LCH and villages. Some had lace edges and appliques. Very cute and the girls loved them. Jill Miller's T-Shirt dresses were a smash and the first to be chosen. The staff also got to choose a dress for their own little girls.
Bekah has enjoyed getting to play with the children. Today she sat and watched the children playing and two little ones attached themselves to her for the rest of the afternoon. Gift asked her to spend the night at the home! She carried Flavia up to see me because of a torn toenail. After I put a happy face on her bandaid she seemed very pleased.
The rest of the lumber arrived and they are working on the shelving today. Josh was getting some of the staff to help sand the lumber. He has been teaching Mike how to use the power saw and mitre box. T hey worked in heat and sun and really came back exhausted. The women have all of the reference materials ready to be shelved when space is ready.
Mark was working on the computers with a computer tech from Mbale. Seems that when they had to reformat the hard disks and in the process had not re-installed the drivers for sound and graphics. After Mark had installed Reader Rabbit 1 that I had brought some of the boys were playing the game and having more fun!
Peace came up to visit Grand dad and myself with two of her friends. After she saw her pictures on our computer she warmed up and started to talk a blue streak! She even sang for Leon her Do Re Me peice for competition.
On Monday we are having the good neighbor girls come for a dress and then we will disburse the rest to their siblings.

Hello from Katy,
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear all that is happening since we were just there. I sure miss it. Give the kids a hug and tell Favor hello from me.
Sarah said the facial rash is Molluscum Contageousum. She discussed it with Dyana and yes, Dyana is aware. Maybe she can bring some meds back for it. Its very contageous!
I love the pillowcase dresses!!! What a great project.
I am so happy you and Leon are finally there!!! Love to Mike and Mary too.
Blessings,Cathy Marshall
Hi Mom, we missed you guys.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the blogs. Ask Bekah how she uploads her pictures because they are "smaller" and take up less time to upload - my limited understanding of it, I didn't ask Marco. love you, Julie
