Today was like many others this week. Up around 5:30AM, take a very quick shower and then off to the kitchen to see what's to eat...aaaahhh a bowl of cornflakes, my favorite and of course Swazi bananas! After setting up our equipment at the school, we decided to get started with Part 2 of the Wall of Memories project. Elizabeth, Kaelly and I chose a color and painted the children's hands with a paintbrush. They all stood in line by class to receive their "painted hand" to place on the wall. Manla and Thando helped guide the children and placed their hands in various places on the wall. Grade 1-7 all got to participate along with the teachers. When we were all done they were full of smiles. That made all of us so happy. It was one of many things we did this week for them that they will remember us all from Iowa (and Minnesota) and we will remember them.
