This is Jenny. Her English is very good! She's probably the best speaker of all the kids here at NCCC.

Life here is going well! I have totally fallen in love with the children here, and most of them seem to like me too! The girls like me to sleep in their rooms, and I have for the past four nights! I like being with them, and it's important to spend as much time with them as I can. The beds here are pretty hard, but I've pretty much gotten used to them. I like it here; it seems that everyone is warm, friendly, and welcoming. I'm making friends with some of the locals. I really like talking with the lady who watches the school gate. She is nice and always asks me to sit down and visit. The English teachers at the local school are great. They come visit me sometimes and invite me to go for walks with them. They have invited me to join their dance class. I don't think I'll be learning how to dance, but it is really nice of them to include me.

We three have become good friends. Seashore gave us necklaces that match, so we are now, officially, “一家人” (one family)! I really like these two kids.

I like seeing the girl in your outfit. Can you tell us a little more about what you are doing there, besides having fun with the kids? ;-D
ReplyDeleteLove you, Mom
Do you like the bamboo mat for the bed? It is very hard, but it is cool in the summer.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteCan you update your blog soon, though?
