November, 2021


November is celebration month for students. Special projects are completed. School is wrapping up and students receive recognition for all their efforts. It is also rainy season so hanging laundry and getting it dry is a reason to celebrate!  We are so thankful for internet and friends who send us many updates and pictures so that despite missing the celebrations, we can share from a distance. In turn,


we want to share with you too.

Giggle

It’s slow tourist season on the island. Belkis and her brother were able to travel to the mainland to visit family and tour some places they had never been. I really shouldn’t enjoy these two pictures so much – Marcio is a 15-year-old. But – we have had a few giggles at Marcio’s expense.

Rainy Season

Rain, rain, and another day of rain. There’s lots of water to fill the water barrels, but few days to wash (outside) and dry laundry. There are times that clothes are still damp when they are brought inside with the next rain. The families with under the house clothes lines are the lucky ones. Cool nights are opportunities for getting close to your family. Sometimes really close. 

Graduates

Congratulations to all of the kids who completed this school year. The studies were mostly online and independent study with only part-time in class instruction. Our graduates worked extra hard to finish assignments and meet the standards of their grade in order to graduate. We're proud of them all.  * Many thanks to the families for sending us updates and many photos to keep us anxious to return as soon as we can.
