Showers of Joy

Since we've been here the weather has somehow managed to get hotter and hotter with each passing day. Yesterday the heat was taking its toll, even on the locals. After dinner, mom (Mrs. Waid, the orphanage's founder), decided to bring out the hose to get the children wet. At first, we thought we could make a dry escape. We were wrong. We joined the children and pure joy ensued. The caregivers had the brilliant idea to turn this into the children's bath time! Bubbles and giggles filled the air as the children ran around trying to give us a bath as well. By the end we were drenched with water and happiness. Thanks to the sudsy donations, our clothes haven't smelled better since we arrived.
