The Rainy Season Has Begun

 

We have had 3 nice rains so far, and as I type this at 5am it is pouring outside.  Although I'm so glad for the rain, I know that when the rains really come we will not be able to keep making the blocks for the school.  Everything is too wet then.  Also on a morning like this, I start thinking about getting the children up to the school.  We also have to have the electrician, Mr. Tembo come and install new lights in the Community Center.  The fluorescent fixtures are built so cheaply here that they don't last.  He will be putting regular bulb type lights in.  In the meantime, it is extremely dark on the cloudy days.  But, things will start growing and we will start taking our malaria pills since there will now be standing water around to breed mosquitoes.
