Pommern Week 2 (Part 1ish)

Our second week of service in Pommern continued what has become our pattern here.  Teaching physics and Pre-Primary (kindergarten) in the morning and then drifting into some sort of community project during the afternoon.

We started a bit more heavy labor this week while we worked on removing the mud mortar from the school library and eventually replacing it with concrete mortar.  This project was a liiiiiiittle dirty.




One other thing we worked on was depositing "Tippy Tappys" which are frames which have a pedal to pour water out of a gallon jug to teach children to wash their hands.



We also enjoyed regular visits from community members who have talked to us about education in Tanzania, cultures and customs, ethnographic history etc.  Below is Edward singing after teaching us a bit about African ethnic groups.



Soooo... that's a few pictures and outline of our life in general.  The next few posts will be about a few highlights including, most importantly, Shannon's birthday.
