Thursday at the Home

Last Thursday we spent the day at the Children's Home. It felt like we hadn't been there forever. They are doing a huge remodeling project right now. For those of you who have been at the Home, we will give you a few details. The kitchen was moved to the area where the kids used to eat. The old kitchen was made into a bedroom for some of the girls. There was a huge pila to wash dishes right by where the kids ate. It had a huge water reservoir because they used to haul water from the river. Now they have a well and the big pila was actually in the way of the new kitchen so they took it out. Bethany took a picture of where the pila used to be.

The kids are now going to eat in the tortilla kitchen. Part of the project was to repaint all of the tables and benches. Caleb and Don were helping with this part of the project. Both of them came home green!

Also new at the Home were some baby chicks. Here is one of the many pictures that Bethany took of the new babies.

We had a good day at the Home. It will be another couple weeks until we return because we will head to the city this week to get Hannah's cast off. We have only one more day at the Home before we return to the United States. It seems hard to believe that our time is almost up.

We had mentioned Rachel's horse in the previous post. Here are pictures of Hannah and Bethany on "Chica". Hannah only received a little ride around the yard since she already has a cast and all! Rachel took Bethany for a little longer ride (not long enought according to Bethany!) and she really enjoyed it.
