One of the unwanted guests in our bathroom...just joking!
So a few weeks ago I told you about our little newspaper here on the crèche, right? Last week there was an article in the youth section of the normal newspaper of Dourados, the Progresso, about our “Jornalzinho”! And not only a normal article, but the lead article of the youth section was about us! We were all really excited because they had put a huge picture of two of our kids on the front page and a great article about the CCF in the middle. Now all the kids want to join the newspaper group here on the crèche!
This and last week Simon and I tried to focus a little more on our housekeeping chores because Edmilson had passed us the list of chores to do during the next few months. So we washed the cars, started to clean up in the Barracão and made doors for a REGAL in our kitchen…
Also this week we were out of electricity buts strangely only at some households of the neighbourhood. When finally electricity came back in the evening (without which we don’t have warm water!!) we found out that our water pump was broken, too…That meant that we could still shower and everything, but that the tank would not we filled again.

all right, I did help washing this more than antique VW Kombi bus
So Wednesday we had to teach the kids: no water to shower, to wash the hands and no water to drink! It was a really funny time because some Kids asked: “Please uncle, please! Turn back on the water! I promise I’ll behave!” He thought that it was a punishment! Thursday the pump was fixed and we had water again…These are the day to day troubles here, but without stuff like that life would not be half as exciting, right!?
This week we’re celebrating week of the child and have planned this awesome program for the kids. I hope all goes well as planned and that the kids love it. Next week I’ll know more.
Have a blessed week and take care!
