It seems incredible that we have just finished only our third full day here - so much has happened.
In sending reports, we are somewhat hampered by lack of electricity. Every day has bought at least one power cut - the sound of our wind-up torches is quite something when we all get going! This is the first time when power has coincided with opportunity.
So - what are doing?
We have been divided into three teams.
Clare, Sue, the two Jeans, Judith & Seb are involved with a project up at Kralan. 30 minutes up what we would regard as a farm track.
The first day saw around 50 children. Today there has been around 130. The director of the school has opened up the building especially for SMILE work, and is very appreciative and supportive. The children are aged between 4 and 12. Today we have had a breakthough with dealing with children with special needs (God's timing that Judith is here!)
Ian, Eric, Steve & Roger are decorating. Three very varied sets of circumstnces so far - next week, we may be painting the outside of the school! Please pray for us (and the other teams too) in the heat which has been around 35 - 40.
Gordon Brown & Anne are helping to sort and hand out aid to famies in need in the local communities, and have seen many different corcumstances, including great poverty.
We are going to try and send one or two photographs from each team either later today or in the week.
With much love
The Kosova Team
