Okay, first of all, watches are a huge hit at AHOPE. They want to wear your watch, play with the buttons, reset it-- very fascinated.
Tuesday night, Big AHOPE had awards night for improvement in school this semester, after school English class and hygiene. The kids who were honored got to go up front and receive a package. In most of the packages, were watches from our watch collection!!! They were very
excited about their watches and were wearing them proudly.
Then us volunteers, Carly, Marissa, Jen and I put on a marrionnette
puppet show that Carly put together. It is an African story about a chief and his daughter-- it went really well. Carly is a teacher in NY from a Waldorf school and amazingly creative.
Alert
Alert is the Leprosy hospital and training center and you can walk
there from our house. They have a craft workshop with patients who
weave, embroider and knit. But the amazing thing is that many of these
people are missing fingers. But such beautiful work and a very serene
setting in the woods.
