The kids are really making Paradi their home. Each day they would get up, eat breakfast and get ready for the day and then head out the door until they were called to start their school work.
The last week we were there, the village kids were on school break but our kids needed to continue to do their school work. It was very hard for our kids to concentrate as they would hear their names being called throughout the morning. Most days the village kids would stop by to say hi on their way to school themselves.
Most of the kids in the two neighbouring villages also know our kids by name. As we hiked out past one of those villages, we heard a little girl call Charlotte’s name. Then another little girl saw Sophia and said “Hello Sophia!” This village is about 45 min hike from our village. Amazing!!!
We hope you enjoy looking at these pictures of our kids playing with the other kids.
My theory is that she is teaching them what to do with Duplo, not taking them away from them!!!
They had a great time sharing the umbrella.
No matter where our kids went, there was always a following of kids.
The night before we left, it seemed that all the village kids came by to visit. They played in the dark together until it was time for our kids to go to bed. There were many hugs and sad goodbye’s.
Amazing what can be fun to play with, so long as you have friends to play with you.
Kyle loved riding carabao every day. His friend Ariel was in charge of moving the family carabao to different locations to graze. Kyle was thrilled to go along and help. He says he is even learning the noises to make to get the carabao to do what he wants.
Eli was eager to take pictures of the kids as he hung out with them. These are just a few he took.
