Day 3 – Early addition

It is 10:30 in the morning here and things are already busy. Renee started her classes with WOP and she need supplies so Leo and I headed out with Phillip as our driver and guide. We headed to Red Light. For those who wouldn’t know what Red Light represents; this is the marketplace that originated with the first stoplight long ago. I guess the theory is that traffic stops and you have the opportunity to sell to people passing by. Now Red Light is the name only, and the marketplace, let’s just say, is busy all the time, with or without the stoplight.

Renee was underway teaching, wondering how she would handle things today since the participants were going through the fabric she brought from the states quite quickly. One of the items we were picking up was more fabric for her class. she was concerned how she could slow them down and take more time in teaching. She shared how she prayed for an idea of what to do. Enter the unreliable electric current in Liberia. The power went out before she even got started and all the sewing needed to be done by hand, giving her the chance to teach since things moved at a slower pace.

Apple iPhone’s memories of today showed off the morning pretty well.

It is later now. As for the rest of the day, it was busy but enjoyable. The class went well and you’ll see the beginning and ending pictures below.

Overall, we are really enjoying things. We’re still getting used to the heat (doesn’t sound too much of a problem compared to what you in the states just went through). It is 9:00 p.m., I’m the last one up and I’m also headed to bed. Of course the locals aren’t headed to bed. Here’s the activity still happening.
