Team Journal, November 12: A Creative Entry!!

Friday, November 12, 2010 (Susan)

Off went Betty, Lily, and I
To preschool with Mrs. Gebsai
Songs to sing
Games to play
See time go quickly by

Older children, six to ten
Had sums practice, then
Memory card games
Catching a ball
Coloring with pencils again

The most favorite play
Was the balloons, I’d say
On which Betty drew
Flowers, stars, and suns
For we “teachas”, a fun day!

Our labor team was free
As happy as could be
With Mark, Laura, and Tai
Sikho, Mzuayanda, and Mr. L
To fix cages around each tree

Holes repaired in net wire
Wit gloves, hammer, and pliers
Topped by wire with barb s
All hauled by wheelbarrow
Don’t you know they were tired

Ah, Friday, end of the work week
Driving through potholes deep
For our stay at Coffee Bay
With hot showers to enjoy
Watch out for the sheep!! Beep! Beep!

Message of the Day: (Mark)
You can out distance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you (Rwandan Proverb)
