1. no hot showers
2. sleeping under a mosquito net (and taking malaria meds daily:)
3. red dirt everywhere!
4. pointing and yelling "Muzung00" (white person) at us
5. jams - that is traffic jams - perfectly normal and looks like chaos
6. children who fight to take my plate away from the table
7. listening to drumming and singing every morning
8. and so many more
But I am loving it here, but I also know that I am not in North America anymore. Have you every tried to explain to a child that they will go on an airplane, when the only time they have seen one is in the sky? Its tricky - personal tv's, washrooms, food - all of these things become difficult, but they love asking. We are trying to prepare them for what life will be like for them for the next year of their life.
I thought I would just let you know what our daily life looks like at Makydee centre.
7am children wake up
- chores
- wash their sandals that have gotten dirty from the chores
8am breakfast
- dishes are done
-devotions
9am rehearsal
12:30 play time
1:00 lunch
1:30 nap
2:30 school
5:00 playtime
6:00 dinner
7:30 devotions
8:30 bedtime
My schedule consists of watching this fine tuned routine daily and while they are in rehearsals or school the chaperones are in sessions. We have learned so much and seen a lot, but there is so much more in store, I can't wait to see and learn more!
