June 2009 David & Joanna Morrison Update

By way of an update, perhaps you would like a personal tour of our home. When you visit our home, you are very likely to find a new member of the Iris family. Kalina is particularly attached to Chimwemwe, our one month old baby. He comes to our house to escape the constant noise at the children’s homes, but he is the newest member of the Nsitu family (Boys 1). You will also meet Rhoda and Veronica who help Joanna remain sane by keeping the meals coming, and the house clean. On the back porch, you may find a tailor churning out skirts and shorts, and repairing endless piles of clothes. You will find the school room empty these days, as we take a break after completing 36 weeks of world history.

Outside you might find a group of girls learning to knit socks, or some boys doing a puzzle. On the pathway you might find some kids chalking, or some fantastic Konex creations, along with their creators. Don’t forget to check out the gleeful screams coming from the pool.  It is positively freezing by our standards, but actually around the 80 degree mark. If Patrick and Daniel are not in the pool, you will find them on the computer building awesome race tracks, or conquering ancient people groups. Of course, they might be in the kitchen searching for something edible. There will likely be several children sprawled on the couch reading or playing a round of pirate scrabble, or just hanging out. If you arrive in the evening, you will meet a few children who need medicine. If you are looking for Mo, check his office or look for a Pinzgauer climbing over unlikely termite mounds. That is what he calls relaxing!
