We had a bit of a scare yesterday. It was Simone's first "long" day at school, which means she went to do sports after regular classes. She was meant to come home on the bus, but when the bus arrived at 5:30 ... no Simone! A friend, Boomi, and I tore off on our motorbikes to the sports field, to Simone's school and a few other places trying to find her. While we were looking, Simone showed up on the back of a motorbike driven by one of her friend's mother.
Turns out, she couldn't remember the name of the community (Aspiration) where we are living and so got off with her friend and then directed her mom to drive her to our place.
The sad thing is that Monique and I made little laminated cards for Simone and Pema with all our contact information and ... of course ... we never actually gave them to the girls once arriving. And we call ourselves travel group leaders!
Anyway, better that it happened now, in a controlled and safe environment, so we can get our systems in order (God forbid this ever happen again).
This girls are in school now and Monique and I are off to a full day of faculty meetings in preparation for the students arriving on the 23rd. Fun!
In community,
