It's great to be back to normal schedule though and to be doing kid's club again (I really missed all my kids!). We've had a few cases of chicken pox this last week at the children's Home and Dereck has got the mumps... looks like they are all on the mend now though. Keep them in your prayers.
Also we had out first library day on Tuesday at HHCH. The last team that was here got the room all painted. We had bought bookshelves a while ago so we got those all set up. We've had lots of books donated already, mostly from missionaries here but some people have even sent boxes from the States. We're starting off with library time on Tuesday evenings, everyone gets to choose two books (also got some neighbourhood kids coming). They were all so excited and had a great time choosing. We really want to nurture a love for books in our children, not a typical thing for most Cameroonian kids as they just don't have the opportunity to read much. Schools rarely have libraries and don't even provide text books for the children... so they only get them if their parents can afford them. I'm hoping to do a read aloud time each Tuesday too, we do need to get lights installed in the library and could use some mats or couches. It was very exciting though to see the kids so excited. I will get some pictures next week and post them.
