Sunday is our day off!

wow - it's our day off and time for some R & R!
we start the day with church (wow!) and a visit to another part of the village - Winni is a big part of this group and she's invited us to see her home. she's got quite a bit of land, a beautiful, completed Habitat home, 4 cows and tons of crops. corn, coffee...the works. church was very energetic, lots of singing and dancing - very spirited and super cool to experience.

after church we went to the job site to take pictures of some of the guys and their families. rob had hooked up with a non-profit org called 'dog meets world' - they take portable printers into villages like ours and give pictures of the people away... visitors usually take lots of pictures of these kids and families, but then leave with the cameras and no one in the village ever gets a copy of the photo. the idea here is that we leave behind photos for them to keep - something most of them don't have. the printers are battery powered and really slick - and to see the laughter and smiles on the kids faces as they watched the photos print was priceless.

the workers showed up with their families and looked so nice - dressed up, shaved...some of them we didn't even recognize! we took hundreds of pictures and printed them up for them - my favorite was a picture of all the little kids in the village with the gramma of the village - when we gave her the photo to keep she held it over her head and danced around with it - the kids were laughing and we were delighted... a great moment. :)

after this great event we were back to hotel to regroup and off to the orphanage for a super fun Fanta Coke party - which deserves it's own post so i can post more pictures.... :)
