This morning for breakfast we was treated to the national fruit, Akai, cooked with bacon. I liked it and I think most of the kids thought it was ok. We started day three of VBS I think the head count for was 120 kids. I was not at VBS yesterday but I was told by several today went better. The kids seem to really get a lot out of VBS, and by kids I mean our kids. The Jamaican kids are also great they need a little structure but they are great kids.
We came back for day three of PB&J. The group split up into two groups. One group went to the infirmary and provided water and soup to the residents. The group also painted the exterior wall of the men's ward and put painted a coat of primer on the inside wall of the men's ward. The other group went to a micro-farm and helped around the farm. The lady at the micro-farm raised pigs and chickens. She also grew several different times of fruits. The other group said they saw the largest spiders hanging above their heads. Their duties were weeded a vegetable garden and moved rocks from the garden to be placed at the slaughter house.
The groups all met back up at the hotel and we ate another great meal, spaghetti and meatballs. Tonight is culture night when several of the locals will be coming in and sings, selling baskets, braiding the girls and guys hair. It starts at 7:00 and I think it will be a great experience.
Today's VBS picture group will consist of Sondra Ladd, Maddie Young, Ericka Schaecher, Ryan Parker and Mckenzie Crawford.
You guys keep it up. We can't wait to hear about your experiences when you get home. We love you and miss you.
