last full work day in HOMBOLO

Well seven classrooms are fully painted!  What an achievement in such a short space of time.  The team are to be congratulated and I know that that's not what they want but how wonderful it is nonetheless.

I hear that they painted a large 'twiga' on the wall of one of the classrooms and a 'hippo' on another.  Twiga, in Swahili is giraffe.

They have also painted educational artwork in the form of numbers and words on other classrooms.. Won't the kids be thrilled when they return to school?  It is a completely different learning environment now.  I cannot wait to see the pictures the team bring home.  I'll post them as soon as I can.

Tomorrow afternoon the team are throwing a games session for the kids - it's party  time too!  Alison brought balloons, Chris brought footballs and some of our friends and sponsors sent frisbees.  There's gonna be some fun there tomorrow.

The team have been practising a hymn to sing on Sunday morning in Church.  It is 'One day when Heaven is filled with His praises' and they will sing it in Swahili!  Tom is preaching.  They will be worshipping in the little Church at Kitelera on Easter Sunday.

On a more serious note Tom has been unwell most of this week with sore throat and aches and pains - 'flu-like symptoms.  Please pray for him and a speedy recovery.
