Who enjoys rainy season the most ?




We were playing on Deck 8, when out of nowhere it started pouring. Next thing we know, all the kids are jumping and sliding in the water. It was so much fun to watch them and very tempting to just join them .
Even though it is the end of rainy season we still experience some downpours every so often. We are grateful for Deck 8 and the ''play area'' that it is turning into for our little ones.
We only have a couple more weeks here
in Liberia before we are leaving for Tenerife.
Thank you all at home for supporting us in
any way shape perform.
We appreciate you all so much and send you our
love from West Africa.

Eye clinic visit

The other day I took a vision trip to one of our eye clinics and I saw these posters hanging up in the clinic. So if you are pregnant in Africa - you go and visit the ''big belly clinic'' ! Is that not something we ''Wester'ners'' have to smile about ?



And since there is also a bit of domestic violence going on they have to have signs like these - telling the man to be a loving and caring partner.
When I spoke with the eye coordinator she told me, that they see so many eye injuries that are caused by hitting and domestic abuse. It just made me sad and you can just hope and pray that posters like these speak to somebody.

What has happened with us on the AFM ?

In Miriam's preschool her teacher talked about friends and so we, being her friends, were invited by her to her friends party with popcorn and other sweet treats. It was a nice little break for Kelly and myself at 9:45 am !
Miriam wears her first african shirt and not to miss her green ''special helper sticker'' !!



Couple of weeks ago we had a tour of 75 school kids here on board and it was really fun. Even though it was quite stressful - the outcome was awesome and worth it.


The kids enjoyed the toys of our crew and had a fantastic time .



This is our media liason Tyler and she is such a big help and blessing - with her sweet personality and easiness to conect with people. Those east Texan's are just precious jewels !!!
