We are almost finished with our first week in the village. It has been incredibly rewarding to be with both the students and the teachers each day as we teach them more and more about the computers. They are all such fast learners!!
As Taylor and I are growing accustomed to life here, we have realized how much we appreciate the small things like:
-running water
-having a washing machine (in the USA because here we have to wash our clothes by hand)
-forks
-a reliable source of electricity
-a western toilet with FOUR walls
-a shower head (versus a bucket)
-good food
-a roof over our head
-AC (I hope you are all enjoying that luxary in the USA)
-food that you can chew (versus swallowing whole)
So we ask you, what are the small things in life that you appreciate? We'd love to know!
P.S. We were just handed a newspaper by the chief and we were featured in it presenting the computers to the schools. Throughout the article they expressed constant thanks to the donors of the computers. So thank you all again!!
