Hi folks , well I have been here nearly a week now and am still sdjusting to the time, Go to bed at about 8pm shattered. Agape is amazing, the kids are great but it would be easy to spoil them. The little ones are really curious about our wrinkled white skin and like to play with our hair. On monday we just arrived and met Pamela , who runs Agape. Tuesday we get there at about 9 and help the little ones with their breakfast. then it's songs and singing games. Ann, my sister, is great at those. Then it's lunch and we go home and I sleep and then back at 3 to play with the little ones and to help the older kids with their homework. Last night some of the older girls came to the house to cook a meal ( mountains of spaghetti) and were trying to teach me to dance which they thoughtwas hilarious, and it was. Today we took the little ones home to swim in our pool and they had a great time leaping into our arms in th water and the jumping around with us. This afternoon we have some time to write at the internet cafe and do some shopping , but we have to walk home which is quit a trek up some very steep hills!I am going to try to attach some pictures with the help of one of the young Dutch voluuteers. So here goes.

Hello Cynthia,
I cant stop smiling when I see familiar faces in your picture. I can see they are enjoying a time with you lot, & I know u all are enjoying even more ;) When I was there in Agape, we did cooking class and movie night every week & kids loved it. We also took little ones to our pool & beach (32 kids & 3 aunties!) which was real fun :) I loved homework class, not many kids are keen on it but they just need more encouragement and applause, I think. Im trying to sort out the photos to print & send at the moment so hopefully I can send it soon. Will you give love to all the kids, aunties, and specially, will you please tell Angel that I carry her photo and letter all the time :)
Looking forward for the next report & photos. Take good care & please enjoy your days!
