Getting to Work

Today we started training with the principals of the six schools.  Little did we know that there would be welcoming celebration for us.  This included singing, prayer and a wealth of gratitude testimonies from teachers and principals of the schools that have already received a library and the ones that are receiving one this week. We were overwhelmed and thrilled with this reception but it put us behind with our training schedule.  We did get going, and the principals were very receptive to our new ideas. 

Following the training we proceeded to the storage temporarily holding the books.  Much to our chagrin, the books were there but needed sorting. We had a real sweatfest organizing the 23,000 books into 8 stacks...one for each school.  We did have help from Mark, Samuel and John. 

On a side note...the books were being stored in a retread tire warehouse.  It made Melanie feel right at home.




Tomorrow Anne begins to deliver the books, while Melanie and Kathy train the teachers.  Check back with us tomorrow for more adventures.
