Days 2 & 3 in Beira


I am writing this at 6:15pm on Thursday (you may notice the clock on the yesterday's posting is USA time - we don't normally post at 2.03am. Sorry about the missing picture - I have added one now.

Today's post is written by John:

It was about midday (Wed) when we made our way by pick-up truck to Inhamizua. The familiar yellow wall confirmed that we had arrived at the compound. The boys, initially somewhat diffident, crowded around as we took pictures of them with our digital cameras and they laughed with delight as we showed them pictures of themselves. One or two in the party allowed them to use their cameras and they quickly got the idea. We went into the school room where the boys wrote their names for us on the board. Afterwards we watched them kicking a ball around. Several of them showed promising signs! After about 2 hours we made our way back to Beira - and the evening meal of pasta, rice and meat.

Today we went further afield to Dondo to see the younger children who are there. As with Inhamizua, the children are very friendly and they enjoyed the puppet Corinne brought very much.
