Birthdays

 

Today was Roman's birthday – he is 8, and Sharpie's birthday who is 7.   This is the first time we have begun to celebrate birthdays with everyone.  At our morning meeting at the school we made a special "crown" for them.  We all sang "Happy Birthday to You" with my mother's last line – "and may God bless you."   They also got to hold our new Zambian flag while we sang the National Anthem, something we do on Mondays and Fridays.

 

During Period 4 we had small goodie bags for the 2 of them.  Some of the older girls helped Sena and Rose (our volunteer from WI) made a cake yesterday.  They will make 2 more this afternoon so there will be enough for everyone.  We have special birthday plates that the children can use when they eat meals on their birthday.
