Back at the Nest with clean laundry and desire to help out with the dinner. I met Irene, the German lady who is the manager and she thanked me for the help. She also thanked me for coming with the middle school "cinder" performers to the other "Nest", where the bigger children lives. I spent a few hour there yesterday. She was afraid that we'd get stuck in the mud with the schoolbus, but I assured her that we did ok. The babies at the hospital were getting better, except for one who is now in the ICU. They are not sure what the problem is and Irene is worried there is some bacteria in the water that makes them sick. They are testing the water too, to see that it is OK. Irene also mentioned that it is good for the kids to meet young men because it is usually all women in the orphanage. This made me feel even better to spend time here.
I got busy right away feeding and playing with the babies. All of them were quite irritated at first, but it got better as soon as we started to load them with food. After feeding the children, I put a couple of them back in their beds. It was a good spend of 2 hours.
