I Am Here Now

Eliud, our  local carpenter, has been a wonderful teacher to us all.  As we each become more confident in our newly found construction skills, Eliud bounces from one team to another to look over our work and offer advice.  Whenever we make a mistake, he simply announces, "I am here now."  

"I am here now" became our theme for the day as we each try to live in the moment, enjoying each other and the work we are doing together.  It was a good day.  

Eliud, our master carpenter, and his two apprentices, David and Meryl.

These two cousins have had a wonderful bonding experience.

4 year old Jeremy helped 3 year old Henry get his shoes on the right feet.

Jenny has found a new career as a Boda Boda driver.

Henry and Alexandra rocked the paint brushes.

Emma enjoyed a moment in the kitchen with housemother, Nancy.

Peggy and Judith, paint buddies.

William, Theresea, Jenny and Emma took a break from construction to harvest sweet potatoes.

Julia worked in the kitchen with Thomas, Nancy and Theresea today,  preparing a great lunch for the team.

We've all worked hard - this picture of William captures it all.
