PICS-Delivering Backpacks


The kids came to greet us and had no idea why we were even there.
It was a celebration!

We danced and danced!



Such a cute picture!
The children watched us drive away :(
The boy in the middle is the boy who I ran into the next week at a church.

This picture shows how we were always "performing."  Crowds of kids would just watch us waiting for us to do something.  We rotated between Hokey Pokey and head, shoulders, knees & Toes!

PICS-Freedom Gardens


The have an awesome system. They create canals for the water to reach the entire garden!

If you want to move the water to another direction, simply put mud there to stop it and direct it another way. Depending on what crops are in season, the water goes different places throughout the farm.
