My prayers today are for the VP of here & his family & that the kids understand why we won't be able to give them their stuff.
Donations of the Heart (acts of kindness, sharing, caring & forgiveness): 
The teachers gave us all cards, flowers, & a coke today.
What I would like to see happen tomarrow (Goals, ideas, etc.): 
Tomarrow I'd like to get the henna done, get my last souvaniers & see if I have enough left over for at least another khanga.  (note: at this point I was drained... if you cant tell...)



Well... today was certainly full of surprizes.  After having a bad dream I woke up at 6 in the morning to silence.  Which of course isn't normal.  We got to Mwenge & found out that the Vice Presedent here died of a stroke last night & the country is in mourning so no celebrations.  Mwenge let us have an informal grad, just handing out certificates.  At 2 we went to Muungano hoping at the very least to have that.  A handful of kids were there, very quiet though, Aisha included.  They told us we couldn't have it at all.  They'll give the kids their stuff next week.  I understand pero it still hurts.  Amy took it pretty hard.  :(  Got online earlier.  Just sent one mass email telling about today & giving messages.  Caught Moh Moh online.  Talked to him awhile.  That was cool.  Found out we are in the same time zone.  Thought that was cool.  He teased me about Emad & Saudia a little.  Was ok though.  Was nice tlaking to him.  Well... wait,  (lol was gona end pero forgot something imp.) Half our group left tonight too.  Well... maybe not half pero it sure seems like it.  More are leaving tomarrow too. Can't believe soon we will all be split our own ways.  :(  Ok. Now I'm going to take a shower & go to bed. Bye.
