I'm back! but this time from school.
It's nice to be on a keyboard that can type the letter p.

I'm at a pause between tests; the kids seem to be finishing this one up quickly (Language) but they are doing well. I think being bi-lingual helps. The Lebanese kids in Beirut did well with it too; many of them spoke three languages.

Recently a group of EA teachers went on a field trip in Santa Tecla, to visit some possible community-service locations. One was the Posada, a community soup kitchen/dispensary. That's where Carol and I will host our birthday party for local kids. There will be a Hello Kitty Pinata for sure,  (I will be the one with the biggest stick).   The next place was an orphanage that raises organic rabbits, sheep, pigs and fish. Sadly, the government is closing down the orphanages and returning children to the (often abusive) homes they were taken out of. So, there were no children, just an eerie mossed-over playground. Then we went to an old age home for women. They were quite a group!

Here are some shots of the day:
