We walked as a group to RC on Monday for our first day in the schools. There are picnic tables right across from the school grounds and we sat down to wait for the classrooms and office to open and were greeted by a friendly young girl. She told us all about the school and the rules, what class she is in (Infant II) and everything she wanted us to know about the school as well as herself. Each morning she has greeted me with a hug as I arrive in plenty of time to sit on these picnic tables and take in the scene of children arriving in the morning. She was not at school on Tuesday and I was informed in great detail yesterday about her cough and sore throat. She stayed home from school and takes medicine "every 6 o'clock." She is always looking for a hug and to talk for couple minutes. Each day I look forward to getting to school and sitting on those picnic tables and learning more about her and her life as we talk. All the children here are very welcoming and friendly. How can you not have a good day when you receive at least one hundred hugs? Some children are just in need of a positive experience at school or with an adult and if I can be that positive experience and give them a hug, then I am there!
