The outreach last night went well, my little Media Player worked wonderfully! Yay, we have finally eliminated DVDs and DVD players from the movie showing process. Goodbye scratched DVDs, goodbye broken dusty DVD players!!! Now I just am praying that the teams will have some respect for these little $1000 pieces of equipment... they look after the projectors really well, so there is hope.
The sound systems are looking better everyday, slowly but surely order is being restored and I think that I could quite possibly be ready for next Tuesday!
In the meantime, its Children's day today and all the kids are going to get presents and a chicken dinner. There will be games and their rooms are being decorated! My roomie was in charge of organizing it all - and its a LOT of work, I think shes been more stressed than me - also she's still in charge of ALL the kids and there are a few who are sick at the moment, and yesterday she had to leave our 4 month old baby, Natalia, at the hospital because she has malaria and they need to put her on an IV with quinine. Jessie was devastated, the hospital is a fairly scary place... not to the standard of a western hospital, so we are just hoping that Baby Natalia will be OK.
Then with Children's Day, there is the hope that the clothes we are giving to the kids fit, that they will like the clothes we give them and that when lunch is served to the 2000 people that are coming to the center today there will not be riots (and that the chicken doesnt run out before the people all received). But it should be a fun day - and its for the kids, so I hope they enjoy it too!
Tomorrow will finally be a day off - after 11 straight days without a break I am sure ready for one!!! We are planning a trip to the beach, Murrebue, and just doing nothing all day!
