So having a house full of boys during the day often brings about conflict. Boys naturally tend to wrestle and such, but with they enviroment they are brought up in it seems to frequently turn into more, than well is necessary. This trip is a trial trip for things like this and I love the ways we are solving issues that arise. We have two large whiteboard with schedules of the day posted and various posters reminding them of the rules and responsiblities of each person. The boys are so cute, they love to be like the gringo boys. Louis always wants to jump in and help them build or work on the school. I think it is great for the gringo guys to be here, they serve as a super male role model. The girls have become quite maternal, especially towards the little ones. I love to see our Esperanza family form. One man on the street questioned us by saying "A black and white family?" I thought yeah, that is right we are a family.
I am exhausted, yet empowered. Many hugs from here in the DR.
