Sounds of GLA

As I am up fairly early this morning, I wanted to share with you some of the sounds all around us. Very, very early we hear the roosters begin their serenade, way before sunrise. That, along with the tree frogs creates an interesting lullaby. ( Most of us have found Tylenol PM to be part of our bedtime routine.) Around 6:30 we begin to hear the cries of babies waking up, ready to eat. Some of them wait patiently for their turn, most are not so patient, so you can only imagine the sweet music. As we are getting ready to head up to the toddler house for the morning, we wait inside the gate, which is under one of the baby balconies. This is a fun time to see the babies, as they are all fed and rested. They love to wave to us and say "Hiya!" Not sure where this came from but they all do it. One of my favorite sounds is when we get up to the toddler house in the mornings and are greeted with "Good news", yelled by the older kids as we enter the yard. We feel very loved.
At pretty much any time of the day, you can find the cooks in the kitchen preparing food for all of the children, the staff and us volunteers. When they are not preparing the food, they are doing the dishes for all of us. Not a small task! It is fun to listen to them chat with each other, even though I do not understand much of what they are saying. We take turns helping with dishes after supper, even with our language differences, the cooks have a way of telling us the way it needs to be done! Well I need to have a little breakfast before VBS this morning. Bonjou! Kim S
