In February

… the clouds hang low and rain often and the grass in the fields grows tall and thick.

Mothers walking home along a path through the fields. If you follow this path you will come across the mission’s school “Mucombeze Primary School”.

In February, summer holidays end for school kids in Mozambique. Before school can re-open, the over-grown grass needs to be cut back and the school yard needs to be cleared. Pitch in everyone! Cute kids J

February 3^rd was orientation day. Many girls came sporting freshly braided hair and some boys wore smart new outfits. Apparently there was much news to catch up on after the long summer break!

Fernando, the cook, getting back into the swing of things. 150 kids to cook for. Wow!

February also marks the month we’ve targeted to move to our new home. There is no better time to have to move plants, plants and more plants!

This is also trip time for us again. We will be on business for a good 2 weeks in South Africa. Leadership training materials need to be picked up, the vehicle needs repairs, legal paperwork needs to be processed, building materials need to be sourced and the list goes on. Who knows, maybe there’s a little bit of fun to be sandwiched in there too. Maybe even another blog entry. Until then, enjoy February. Be it bitterly cold or muggy and hot, it is our shortest month!
