"Little Stars" Activity Center for cognitively impaired kids is almost official! We have rented the facility and are starting to paint, clean, organize and remodel it. We are aiming for a May 1st opening, although we are not sure if that will happen,remember-TIA (This Is Africa)! Here are some before pictures, I will post some after pics in a few weeks!



On Saturday, some kids came to help paint the center. It was a fun morning and we were able to finish one whole room!
Recently, Jeremy was able to finish the swingset for Ezra & Joy. They LOVE swinging and Ezra really enjoys his "fort".

Elections!



Sunday is an important day for us. It is the first democratic presidential elections in the country's history. Campaigning has a distinct nomadic, Saharan feel to it, as all of the candidates have erected large tents all over town to promote themselves. We have been listening to loud music late into the night, and are enjoying the tangible excitement of the people as they anticipate this historic day.

Truckboarding...


What do you do if you enjoy wakeboarding, but don't have a boat? You go "truckboarding"! We have recently been introduced to the sport and love it! You hook the 120ft rope to a pole mounted on the top of a Land Cruiser, wade on out past the waves and take off! If you look closely, you can see the rider just past the breakers.
