Today we found out a little more about what we will be doing here. We had lunch with Madda and Shinti the two in charge of the Focolare Centers here, and it was great to catch up with them. I had met Cinti in Loppiano, and he knows the rest of the family as well from our stay there in 2001. He remembers Mary well, and the experience she gave with the Iranian girl her age, and how they became good friends.
Anyways, I will be working in Bukas Palad right across the street from our house. It is the social center that has a small Pre-school and health center. Michael on the other hand will be working in the other social center 4K away, that works with slightly older children. He might also work in the carpentry shop they have here. We're not sure yet though. I think he is a little unsure of the traveling he has to do everyday, taking a Jeepnie or tricycle, definately a new experience. I am posting a picture of the tricycle, and will post a picture of the jeepnie later so you can get a better idea.
Can't wait to start work tomorrow.
