Nuevos Amigos (the school)

Today we went to the school. The area around was terribly impoverished. There were dirty mops of dogs walking all around the area, dogs that were supposed to be white were a tannish brownish, in the school, on the streets, on 3 inch wide ledges up about 20 feet. But as we drove up to the school my mind changed. It was nice but not too nice. Extereme Response (the Christian building we are staying in for the first two weeks) is about the middle of the mountains. Well..... the school is at the very top. We are literally in the clouds. We can see the whole cable car ride, and the mountains peak looks like it is about 200 steps in the uphill position.

Enough with the area. We are going back tommorrow to paint and do computer work and play with the kids. We basically figured out our whole plan for the month of July. And the coolest news of the day(for the school) was that just today about an hour before we got there the school was approved to add second grade to the school.

That's all for today kids.
