Almost Forgot

We both read The Glass Castle : A Memoir (Jeannette Walls)

So back during our site visit Kristy convinced the children in the village, who like to stop by, to gather random pieces of plastic from the bush (there's a lot of trash laying around). They made their homemade footballs (soccer balls) out of the plastic bags. It's the number one brand of football here in Malawi. In the education field we have an acronym for that: TALULAR (teaching and learning using locally available resources).

These look like Emerson's dirty diapers in a used Target bag! Maybe we'll bring cloth bags to Target once she is out of diapers..
