My first three weeks back have been busy and wonderful. I am
doing a lot of work this second half to make sure the work I have already done
stays sustained after I leave. This involves writing a lot of details, filming classes, and transfering info.
The nursery is looking to hire another worker because they have from ten to fifteen babes with only two staff members. So until they get another worker I volunteer every morning…which I just love. I have gone a little crazy with the pictures of baby Isaac. He greets me every morning by shouting my name and clapping like a crazy…so cute. I absolutely love that I get to spend my mornings this way.

Meron, who recently started working at the childcare center
has been such a help to me. She translates for most of my classes and also
helps teach. She is pregnant and I am convincing her to name her little girl
Becca. She asked me what my name meant and I told her perfection…so…;) Crossing
my fingers on that one. When I leave she will most likely be taking over all
teaching…so grateful it is in her hands. She is wonderful with the kids and
they love her. This is the first year of the after school program so I have had
a lot of freedom to build it the way I like it, it will be hard to leave this
big project but knowing Meron is running it will bring heaps and bounds of
peace!
Rahel was getting a pan from under the sink the other day
and a rat the size of my hand ran out. Thankfully Zewdu was close by so he came
and stomped on it. What a guy. It is a miracle I have not lost sleep since
then…or gone mentally insane. I hate all things creepy crawly.
This morning on our way to work we kept hearing roosters.
And then we started seeing crowds of chickens walking alongside the road…we
kept walking to find a truck that had been storing their chickens in potato
sacks -- they had chewed through and escaped. It was a little chicken uprising.
Everyone had stopped their walks to watch these poor men trying to collect
their hundreds of rebellious chickens. Hilarious.
Thankful for all of you back home, as always you encourage me greatly!
Love from Addis,
Becca
