Dick, Thelma, Phyllis, and Baoli began the day at
school by walking the three to four flights of stairs to their classroom
as there is no elevator. We began climbing and singing "Climb, Climb up
Sunshine Mountain" to distract us from our first task of the day. When we
reached the third floor, we were informed we needed to go to the
principal's office. We were not sure what to expect. To our surprise
there was a friendly, warm man to greet us, Principal Liu. Principal
Liu welcomed us and shared his appreciation for our volunteering in his
school. Also, if I am not mistaken it is Principal Liu’s private car and
driver who transport us to and from our hotel to school daily. What a
wonderful way for the three volunteers to start their day.
This morning we had the HNC1 students. All of
us used their nursing manual. We helped them with their pronunciation and
clarification/definition of the words in their text book. Of course each
day can't go by without singing and sharing of our own heritage and
theirs. Our day ended with a nap then shopping. I'm happy I
found a new Alaska fishing raincoat. My six-year-old raincoat crashed this
year and I got soaked and wet. We are still looking for Thelma’s cassette
player and Phyllis’ terra cotta soldiers. Now for dinner and bed.
