Did you know that Pastor Stevie Roy can do a passable impersonation of Shrek? If you ever meet him ask him to do it for you - he will be pleased! "Whit are ye daein in my swamp!"
We split into teams again today and one team went back to finish off the playground for the school. It was a more leisurely pace and not so hot after yesterdays broiling! Poor Stevie took the brunt of the mishaps today. When we arrived in Sofia he had managed to walk into a glass door that he just couldn't see and bent his glasses, and today he kept bumping his head on the climbing frame! "What numpty put that bar there!" He already had a headache so we let him drive to take his mind off it. "I canny find the right gear!" Some folk are never happy!
I have a great photo of the man from the council who tested the playground for safety...
The other team visited two pre-schools, one on the valley and one in the mountains. They took them filing cabinets, cabinets with pull out drawers for he children to use to store their work, hexagonal tables and other stuff. These places are not well supported by the government and in one school especially, the director and his wife invest a lot of personal time and money in the school so it's great to be helping people with that kind of spirit.
They also re-vsisted the school for disabled children and brought them more equipment. They couldn't use all of it because of space considerations but we will re-distribute.
It is interesting that in these towns the local muslim teachers teach that christians should be chased out of town but we are welcomed. In other towns christians are actively run out of town regardless of whether they evangelise or not.
Because Chuck and Bobby have been in different teams, they have been uncustomarily quiet until they meet up again at tea time and breakfast. Never mind lads, maybe tomorrow you can go out to play together!
