Great difficulty with internet

 Since last weekend , not able to get on line with computer to post pics of toilet launch. I am on my iPad so just words. Launch went well, I cut the ribbon and all the kids cheered. The Precentor prayed and all was well. Three weeks tomorrow I will land in Toronto. I understand your weather is terrible so for now all who have influence temp of 70 F would be really nice. Lol

It is rainy season so daytime temp may get up to 33c and down below 20 c at night, need a blankly as I am cold. It’s all relative it seems. Hopefully I can get internet on computer soon so I can show pics.

Paint needed



 The JK/SK attached to the cathedral needs many things. This year they are needing paint to freshen up the environment.  This is the same school a few years ago, that a project brought water to the school. This school continues to struggle as the government pays the teacher and head mistress salary but no support to maintain the buidling (the gov't claims free education but only supplied the teachers).  So the painter has been contracted and painting will start soon.  pics to follow ...

                                                       NEED PAINT

 
                                                 ALL PAINTED

Head mistress is happy, her friend is trying to figure out this white woman

Dresses that fit

 A donor from St. Matthews on the Mountain in Hamilton makes what she calls  'pillow case dresses'. Dresses made from pillowcases. She adds a pocket, trim and little embellishments to result in the dress being quite cute.

Hands that help

 Two students ran to carry my bags today. I think it is a toss between to feel important to carry my bags or to experience the a/c in the office. For what ever reason here are the hands that assisted today.

Repairs done and peace resumed

 Yesterday had many folks coming and going in the house. To look at the destruction, to assess the damage and to create a solution.

                      Carpentr came with his two young boys, equipment and know how.


                                                Then came the cleaners. 

                                Victor, Kojo and Ebineezeedr from the office 

                                        swept, wash and dusted everything.


                                            so it became sparkling again
