Back to work...we spent the morning teaching the kids their alphabet, giving them chalk so that they could practice by writing on the floor. We each worked with a two or three kids, but despite the individual attention some of the kids were soon off running around or napping in a corner...after all, they're not forced to learn!

Balloons!

In the afternoon, we set about planting trees and flowers to brighten up the forest (yes, we were planting trees in a forest...). We were soon joined by some little helpers, and everything was going well until someone uncovered a nest of scorpions. Since they're poisonous they had to be carefully removed so that the kids wouldn't get hurt (although I'm pretty sure the guy who took them planned to keep them as pets!)

We had a quiet but fun evening playing card games and chatting. I don't know how many times we played Uno while we were there...probably too many to count.
