The President will be visiting tomorrow, as part of her campaign for re-election.
it's a beautiful sunny day today, light breezes off the shore.
Starting to plan for how teaching will look next week - homeschooling Nik, teaching yoga, and a Learning Circle which will probably involve basic writing skills as well as vocabulary, literature, and history.
There is a little girl who belongs to the cleaning woman who has attached herself to me. She is mute, and very loyal and helpful, as well as wanting to be with me every moment she can. Effy.
Learned to play some Liberian card games last night from a man whose father was killed in the civil war and he had to flee to the Ivory Coast because the rebel group was forcing him to join their army. Another man told me this morning that during the war he didn't leave Liberia but was constantly moving, like a wild animal, around the country trying to find safety.
A boy about Nik's age approached him with a fishing pole in hand asking him if he wanted him to go fishing on the lake. Apparently, word must be getting out that Nik is a fisherman. They will go this afternoon with Timothy.
More tomorrow!
