Fun In the Sun






We helped set up a pool for Danny's group. It is called Ymit meaning "hope". We are getting fond of all of his friends already. It is amazing to see so many 2 and 3 year olds that live together 24 hours a day and enjoy each other. Their caregivers are helping us learn about Danny so we can prepare for our time at home. He loves to dance and he is a good helper at cleaning up. He learns new things quickly and always cleans his plate. We even saw him trade his mostly eaten roll for a neighbor's larger one. We'll have to stay active. The children must all wear hats when outside to prevent illness. As you can see, it is hot and there is no air conditioning so some visits the underwear serves as cool playclothes or swimsuits! Hi to our family, friends, co-workers and especially our Collinator, the "aha" or big brother in Kazakh.
