Sue teaches English to some of our girls. Walai is to her right.
I have been pretty busy with starting construction on two new child homes. Sue has been teaching English to our girls. She has been trying new flash card curriculum that the girls appear to like. The hope is to build some good methods so that “amateur” English teacher volunteers coming to us can be productive easily.
We visited our 2 ½ year old twin girls a few days ago. They are seriously cute. After having only sons, and then (so far) only grandsons, Sue likes to get caught up on little girl hugs. I even had my nails done. They were pretty skittish when they came to us a few months ago. Now they relate really well to everyone who visits.
I just heard that Buffalo Tours is coming this March with some volunteers to work in the village and with our girls. I’ll be here when they come this time. Their people come for a week, which is enough time to get the feel of our place and a bit of useful work done. They planted trees among other things last time. It was quite a large group. This second group will be smaller which may suite our level of growth right now. We are hoping a few of them might come back for a longer term to work with us some day.
Speaking of level of growth, we hope the contractors will start the next two homes next week or the week after.

These are terrific postings, Jack. So good to catch up with you both.
