A Month Later….

So it has been about a month since I have left the beautiful continent of Africa and made it back to America.  Good news!

Every morning, a teammate and I work at a creche (daycare) on a farm neighboring the school the rest of our team is serving at. The school specializes in special needs kids, mostly ones with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (alcoholism is a major problem on the farms).
