Jagna


Happy 4th of July!!! On this day we drove to Jagna Elementary School to work with our last IDEA sponsored school. We were lucky enough to rent the Garden Cafe meeting hall next to the restaurant in order to do our routine in the shade and air conditioning. We Americans were blessed, but the poor Filipinos were cold!



When we were done, we ate at the Garden Cafe and headed home to restock supplies. We had Calun San Sur, a barrio school, that afternoon... and they were crazy!!! There were 30 preschoolers on top of the already 130 students at this elementary school. We love this school though, because our friend Enday, Along's wife, works here and it's the closest school to our house. We see the students a lot, walking along the barrio road, as we are traveling. The teachers there blessed us with coconut water and then opened up the coconut to eat the "meat". It was yummy!

We headed home, ate dinner and had prayer time. No fireworks for us this year, but I woke up several times this night to thunder, massive rain and harsh winds.
