Can't get away from Rex

The picture you're looking is that of

the theatre troupe featuring Rex the 

dog. 

This was taken after the group's 

second practice. The kids are very

fortunate to have a teacher at their

school who studied theatre. He is

also volunteering his time and I am

feeling that this is going to work out

pretty good.

It is the first activity of it's kind at that

school and it is giving these kids a 

great opportunity to express themselves.

Always good to help develop teenagers

(I think).

As we took the picture Rex had to be part

of it. I've figured how to ditch him when

I'm traveling out of the village. Of course

it's without making a bizarre scene. I

start out on my bike in a direction. I see

if Rex is following. If he is, I turn around 

and come back. I take off again and if

Rex is following, I turn back again. I can

see that the dog is kind of like ... what's

up? Then I ride in and out of a few 

buildings and if I lose him then I take 

the nearest path and off I go. It's just 

that there is usually no less than 5 

people at any one time sitting there 

and watching this happen. I feel safe 

to say that they're probably amused.

Another good thing this week is that 

we're inching closer to having a girls

soccer team. There is a colleague of 

mine in a village about 6 or 7 miles 

from here and she's organizing a team

there. 

The plan is for the match to happen on

8th of March the International Women's

Day. The girls are in the range of 13 to 15

years old. It will be the first match for girls

soccer around here so 8 March sounds

like the right day to try it out.

The girls have never played soccer and 

they have about 3 weeks to learn. Should

be fun and both teams are on equal 

footing so it will be fair.

Again the school is lucky they have a 

new Physical Education teacher who is

motivated and open to almost any 

decent idea.

So far for myself, I'm lucky and my part

is to support in any way. It keeps me busy.

Other than that it's been weighing babies to see

if there is any malnutrition and this week

it's been good, no problems.

This has been a good week overall and now

it's time to end this post and head out to 

take a shower outside under the moon-

light. 

Kind of a nice way to finish the week.
