Wednesday morning, we woke up early and were out the door by 7:30am.  We hopped aboard some rickshaws (a 2-person cart pulled by a driver on a bicycle) and rode to the orphanage.  For this day, we were teachers.  Over a four-hour period, I taught four classes.  The first were 2nd graders, and we worked on their math with flashcards.  I really enjoyed that class.  Next came a class of 35 kindergartners.  That was an interesting student-teacher ratio - lots of them and only one of me!  Some how I survived....

After a short break, I had that class again, but this time I had two teammates with me, and I think we made some progress.  For my fourth period, I went back to the 2nd grade class and taught English.  It went extremely well.  Praise God!

After school, we attended a prayer time with the children.  Then we helped them study for a bit, and we rounded out the day with Christmas crafts.  Remember those construction paper chains you probably made for Christmas as a child??  Let's just say that these kids made the longest one I have ever seen.  How fun!

By the time we returned home (around 7pm), I was exhausted, but happy.  I felt like we had a very fruitful day, and I praise the Lord for all the opportunities He provided us.
