First pictures: the green house and the kids (well some of them)


We named it the Green House. It was so green you could see it from far away















The showers and bathrooms. I told you there was no running water. But bucket showers are fun. Plus it's so hot. Taking a shower outside it's actually a nice change...at least for a few weeks. It seems basic but for most people here it's pretty luxurious

The kitchen, on the right.











Here are some of the kids who lived there or came to visit us all the time so we could play. We spent hours every night playing with them. When you spend the day at the hospitals, it's nice to see healthy kids when you get back home. They were really great great kids. They have no tv or video games so they spend the day outside inventing games. They're so funny.

The girls in their school uniforms. They love when you run after them. It just makes them laugh. Easy.

Simple games. They talked and talked and talked.











Keizia discovered my ipod.The only they wanted to listen to Michael Jackson...I tried Radiohead but they didn't like that...They know Rihanna but not the Beatles.Someone















Going to church: Rachel, Keizia and Obert. Yes, the suit is a little too big.

Priscilla laughs like a squirrel












Some of the orphans from the orphanage next door would come over to play as well. We bought a football so they would play all the time
