Children are truly a gift from the LORD!

Spent a good majority of my day with the little ones.  Sorted and passed out the new uniform shirts to the children.  Watched them play at recess.  Took picts and video of the men working on the well and the children playing in their new uniforms.  The electric pump to the well had not been working so the entire thing had to be dug up in order to find out what the matter was.  Ultimately that meant that we were having to hand pump and carry water for daily usage… flushing the toilet, washing hands and dishes, taking a shower, etc. 

Started sorting and labeling the totes of all the supplies that were donated.  Will try to finish that up tomorrow.  Three children were playing in front of the clinic so I took a color book and crayons out.  We sat and colored for a while.  They were way too cute and excited about coloring.  Had to bribe the crayons out of their hands with stickers.

The guys finished fixing the electric pump and reinstalled the manual pump so we now have running water in the house!  The job was supposed to take 2 days and they completed it in one.  Because they finished towards the end of the day there was no warm water… so we had to heat water on the gas stove to bathe with.  Also because there was a patient being treated for malaria in the clinic room where we normally shower, I had to shower in the room that Hannington is staying in.  Basically a sink faucet and a drain in the middle of the floor.  Glorified sponge bath but it works!
 

Sauteed garlic, onions, and tomatoes with chicken and rice for dinner with Stella and Hannington.
