At 12:30 the children go down for a nap and this is a siesta time for all. Megan and I greatly appreciate this time. We come back to our little cottage and crash!
There is a dress code here that we were not made aware of until we arrived. We did not come prepared, so each morning and afternoon after siesta time, we're scrambling around for something to wear that meets the dress code and is clean! Here's Jess wearing Megans shorts! Too cute Jess!
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go!!
All the hard work you guys have done this week is greatly appreciated!

Throughout the day, all the children have a variety of chores to complete at the orphanage. One of Hanna's jobs is to mop the back porch after morning craft time.
All the older children do their own laundry daily...by hand!

To sweet...
Jess, Brandon, and Doug have been working tremendously hard on construction jobs around the orphanage with Mark, Doreen's husband. Once in a while they surface and come out to play with the kids...and the kids, well, they just love it!
The Smiths brought the kids a nativity set and the kids had a great time adding to it!
