Thursday, May 21, 2009

Today was at our full day at the orphanage. In the morning some people went to the nursery school and the rest of us sorted through all of our donations. It was intense to say the least. However, it was a great feeling, since we knew it was well worth the headache! We got everything sorted, bags packed, and supplies distributed to the nursery school before noon. Then when we were leaving for lunch Guillaume told me he had my 'stuff' in the car – he had finally been able to locate me a PRIMUS shirt!! I was one happy camper, and he worked awful hard for it! Have I mentioned he's awesome??
After lunch we went back to Gisimba. We planned out the most effective way to distribute bags. It of course did not work that way at all, but about four hours after beginning we were finally done. We would NOT have been successful without the help of my friend from last year, Moses. He did a great job and we will never be able to thank him enough. Guillaume waited for Nakeesha, Lori, and I to hand out all the bags and then we finally made our way back to Chez Lando for a well deserved rest.
