A New Home for Hope Orphanage

This week the orphanage moved to a new location. The new place will actually be nice and close to my new place -- as I am moving too at the end of the week. So I arrived at the old orphanage yesterday dressed in decent clothes as I was expecting to help move little things and take down artwork. (I was supposed to help on Thursday but they told me not to come because they were moving the heavy things ... lol... I am probably stronger then each of those guys.) So the first thing we did was load up the tuktuk. They put a bookshelf, coffee table, and a stack of mats on the top. The scary thing was that one of the kids sat on the top with the stuff. I prayed the whole way to the new orphanage. I was so scared that we would get in an accident and something would happen to him.
So at the new place I discover that they want me to paint. So, I had to walk to the market and buy stuff to scrape off old paint and a few rollers... I also had to buy some cheap shorts so that I didn't destroy my only pair of jeans. What a day! But, it was really nice beside I was able to have fun and spend time with my kids in a different setting.

Is it cold enough there to actually wear jeans comfortably? Or have you just adjusted to the temperature? Have fun painting.
