Chessells in Africa:

We found ourselves home schooling this morning-stretching our brains back to mathematic problems was rather difficult. Linda had to take a couple to the airport and pick up a group from town so for her it was a 4 hour round trip on "those" roads. After brain drain time we went out to the tramp for some serious jumping(the children that is).
There is an American team here at present so meal times are quite interesting.  Today we Aussies introduced them to vegemite & nutella.  The jury is still out on the vegemite! Most of the products here are from the states.  The visiting teams are very generous with their contributions.  We are even having really good coffee thanks to the US team.  Keith is having withdrawal symptons as there is very little meat eaten on the compound and if you saw how it was sold in town you would understand why.
Jas, Caleb & Josh are loving having us here and when we were out wandering amongst the children Josh basically attached himself to Keith's leg.  As you can imagine Keith is a real hit with the children, giving them high fives, low fives and thumb lifts.  Helen is enjoying cuddling the babies while the mamas work.  Yes we are blessed with all the housework & washing being done for us although Linda does like to cook occasionally and cooked us a delicious curry tonight which we shared with the hospital team.
It has been very humid today after the rain so life moves at a slow pace.
