The week from the 22nd to the 29th of march has been a very typical week of service and university.
The lectures about Islam were really interesting and we all had to study a little bit because we had an exam on Tuesday.
In the homes everything is going well, but little John Iskander and Elie Flouty from Deir el Salib had been really sick. John had an operation on his brain and Elie had bad stomach problems so both went to hospital last week. Elie is already back but little John is still there so we pray for them and ask all of our readers to think of them in their prayers!
Furthermore Sr Manal asked us to walk in the corridor with Charmel, Kassim, Simon , Spiderman George and Mohammed because they actually can walk a little bit and now we are trying to improve their skills.
The service in Antellias is getting better and better. On the one hand it is still really challenging because we have a huge amount of boys we cannot divide, but on the other hand its always a big party and a lot of fun! Suz and Caroline are the sporty champions, a few of the boys love to play tag and soccer with them and the singing and dancing round is always a great success.
In Deir El Quamar things are going very well too! Last Monday we tinkered rattles, which was a great success because the girls loved the beans stuffed toilet paper rolls.So much about the service.
The last few days we have had a bad storm in Lebanon. There was snow at 300 meters, the streets to Faraya were totally closed, and we were freezing. We remembered the time in the Preparation Camp where we danced in the rain because we thought we´ll have heat and dryness for the following ten months – nope, not at all, we experienced the coldest Winter in at least 30 years! So for all the following Caravans – we highly recommend you taking warm clothes with you!!
However, we had a great week, and we sadly realised, that it´s just three months left in this project! So we decided to make the best out of this short last period, and started planning some more Saturday services/parties, and we´re working a lot on the organisation of our Caravan Camp after Easter and the Camp for the volunteers from Dubai, which takes place just afterwards!
We´re still searching for volunteers so everybody which is free either from the 9th to the 15th or from the 20th to the 26th of April is very much welcome to join us!
Moreover, Moritz mum is here at the moment and we had an amazing dinner together with her in the Caravan Apartment! She spoiled us with delicious meat she prepared and desert. We all loved having a mummy for one evening, thanks Moritzi for sharing ;-)
Well basically that´s it. Sorry for my bad English!
