How's that for joy! Diu's happiness lights up her home as she opens gifts her sponsor sent her. Her home cannot compare to ours. We have glass in our windows, refrigerators, indoor bathrooms that flush...the differences are many. In addition to these gifts Diu's family received 30 chickens and starter feed,  oil to cook and fish sauce too. Diu and her sister are sponsored to help them attend our school. We also gave them a little cash gift too from the sponsors.

We opened one suitcase and blew up a beach ball. This is what the kids did when we threw it up in the air.

They were all into it. I loved seeing them be excited and happy and eager to play! This is from one beach ball!

Imagine what a real playground would do.

Sunday- the students at school

Les is having fun with the kids. They gather around and are just so much fun. To accommodate our schedule the school was closed Friday. The staff and students came on Sunday, the first day we could see them. It was heartwarming.
