Lots and lots of children...and lots and lots of concrete dust... My impressions of our first day at work in Belize.... We spent the day working in some new classrooms - where we scraped and scraped and scraped the "bumps" off of the concrete walls and floor...It was hard, dusty work - but thankfully, God gave us cool breezes today so we didn't die of heat prostration! Every time the school had "recess", so did we - we'd drop our tools and head to the playground where we'd play with the kids. Kickball, soccer, football, frisbee - and photography lessons. The kids are fascinated by my camera - so I lined them up and let them "play" with it and take photos. I ended up with 200+ pictures of myself. Not exactly what I was wanting - I kept telling them to take photos of their friends - and so all I can say is, thank God for the "delete" button! Very good day - the children are awesome. They hug us, they love on us, and they have welcomed us with open arms. Who knew "recess" could be so magical - even as an adult?!Posted by Sherri Odell
