Greetings from Africa!! Today is Sunday, and it is hard to believe our work week is already over. We have had an amazing week working at the School for the Deaf. We arrived the first day and were warmly greeted by the teachers and students. We were very frustrated we could not communicate with the students much- mostly we could just wave hello and smile. We pestered the teachers every day during tea time to teach us more sign language, and by the end of the week we were able to have conversations with the kids- although they were very butchered and took a long time.
My favorite part of the library is the mural we painted on one of the walls. Drew was the artist, and everybody else helped paint. Rachael was the master paint mixer- we began with cans of red, yellow, and blue paint, and with those she mixed up an entire palette of colors. We hope the children really like it and hope it will make the library a place where they want to spend their time.
