Crafting

Shift today was lots of fun, Jessica made a cake and we cut it into flat pieces. We then got the kids to pipe icing onto the cake from snap lock bags. They also got to decorate with 100's and 1000's. Appart from the kids enjoying getting to eat sugar is was one of the crafts they have been best at so far. It was lost of fun helping to guide little hands over their cake!

Graduation

Well, its the begining of the new school year and with that 4 of the olders children the volunteers look after and moving up to the older pre-school. Its a very exciting time for tham and i will deffinantly miss them, but i will still look after them mornings and afternoons and weekends, so thats good. Our group also got 5 new additions, youngsters moving up from the babies group. 3 of them are great, happily settling in but two are not to keen to be with the ferlungs (white people). There are alot of changes happening but its all going on swiftly.

The Wet Season

Well, its come early this year (or so they tell me). It has been raining every day for about three weeks now. It's still a bit of a novelty and the temperature drop is great to, its gone down about 10 degrees or so. I imagine in a few more weeks I will just be sick of being wet, having to take a spare pair of clothing to work and wrapping anything i need to take in a plastic bag. All the ponds in the graving feilds have filled up and its amazing how green everything is. After drought for so long its great to see greenery. But then I imagine thats going to get old when the path I use through bush starts getting overgrown and boggy.
