A quick post, guys. We're *finally* getting the library in Ramabanta at the primary school up and running. This has been an enormous pain and continues to make me crazy. Example: Why has it taken 8 MONTHS to get the books from Maseru to Ramabanta? BUT -- it's close. So if anyone is planning on sending a care package this direction, throw a few children's books in there for me. We've got lots of high school and middle school level books, but are really short on elementary level - an example of a great book for the young kids is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" (I already have this one, so find others). Also, Sandy sent along some really basic puzzles and posters (colors, alphabet, shapes etc) that have been wonderful. It goes without saying that used books and the like are just as dear to us as new. The kids are learning English from first grade on so all materials in English are perfect. Just a reminder that I'm out of here in 5 ish months, so if you're planning on sending anything at all, the sooner the better!
Thanks for your help guys! I'll get a post up here about our recent HIV outreach backpacking expedition through the remote Maloti Mountains up next. Happy holidays. :)
