Hey! Its Tyler again!

Things in Rugare calmed down a little bit this week. All the kids finished up school and started their break on Wednesday, so Haley, Linda, and I are no longer teaching at the bridging school. There was a little more time to just hang out with kids because of that. Not to say we haven’t been working though! One Highlight from this week is that we got to take 5 girls from the bridging school to a community called Embari to get uniforms for school because they have been sponsored and will get to start school next term! They are all very excited to start going to school!

Another one is that plans for a sustainable chicken project that will provide funding for some kids to go to school are nearing completion. Materials to build the first chicken run were bought mid-week! On Friday I went with Pastor Henry to pick up the ground cover for the chicken run too. We expect to actually build  the chicken run some time this next week.

Unfortunately, Linda and Haley had their last day in Rugare on Friday. Their church, Solid Rock, sent another team of around 20 people on a 2 week mission trip to another part of Harare, and Linda and Haley were asked to join that team. On a more exciting note, Sam and Elijah should be joining me tonight to work with me in Rugare for the next 2 weeks! There is a ton we would like to get done before wrapping up and heading home, so it should be a busy 2 weeks.

Anyway, those are just a couple of this past weeks happenings. Its been over a month since I have gotten here, but little kids still run to the street shouting “Marungu! Marungu!” (White man! White man!), when they see me walking around. Haha! I miss yall and I look forward to sharing all of the stories and pictures with everyone! Thanks for reading and keep us in your prayers!
