Ready for School
The Primary school children are lining up to sing their morning prayers while a woman spreads fresh mud on the floor to clean it and have it ready for the pupils.
How wonderful to see such a different way of life. Puts our problems here into perspective! Maybe our leaders should spend some time on the mudline. A great experience for our young people and well done to them all for being so courageous to get out of their comfort zone in Ireland to experience a different way of life. Kay Youghal
I agree with Kay yesterday. I admire everyone who is there, that they have been able to leave the comforts of home behind them and work together for others - it truly is a wonderful thing particularly for those that are finding dealing with being home sick a struggle. So if you could pass on to them all to keep up the good work and enjoy every experience. Also it interesting to read their blogs, perhaps a couple more would consider writing. Julie
