This morning we were able to sleep in a bit, since breakfast was moved to 8:00 due to our late arrival last night.
Because of women’s day, it was a school holiday so we couldn’t go to class. We spent the day planning and reviewing the work which has been done to the school.
Betty Jane did a First Aid course with students, teachers and house parents. It was enjoyed by all.
The chickens arrived on Friday night but today was the first chance we got to see them. They have an excellent home and are warm with a brazier going to keep them cozy. 200+ little meat bird chicks, or as they are called here broilers. They expect them to be full size in 6 weeks.
This evening we had a mass said for us, by Fr Kelvin and then we had supper with Br Fenwick, Fr Kelvin and Bishop Emeritus Aaron Andrew. The sisters gave some delightful parting gifts and lots of wonderful words were spoken. People of Inverness County and Canada, you are loved by the people of Mporokoso. Tomorrow is our final day n Mporokoso.
