A most splendiferous return to Liberia.

Well it is great to be back in liberia, the sights, the smells, the heat!!! I made it with no problems on my flights and they didn't even lose my luggage this time. On my first full day back I went with Mary to drop off food at Childcare Foundfation and Francis Gaskin. The children at Childcare were all happy to see me and they all looked well. You can definitely tell it is rainy season though, the there kids have a lot of skin fungus and other irritations but thankfully no malaria! The kitchen that they made out of mud and sticks is practically all washed away by the rain, so they are back to cooking in the school. Korpu is getting fat and staying healthy. She is not walking yet but she is kind of dragging herself along on her butt. She is stronger and with a little encouragment I am sure she will be walking soon.
At Francis Gaskin the director, Emmanuel, continues to impress. He has practically built his own latrines and continues to provide vocational training for the children even though school is out for the summer. The children all look healthy and he has only had a few cases of malaria which he has treated all on his own. This guy is never sitting down. He knows that no one will wash your back if you are not washing your front. More soon from other homes as I visit them. Enjoy.
