AMERICAN SAILORS COME TO CENTER!

Wednesday, February 10th two ships from America came to port in Maputo; the USS Nicholas and the HSV (High Speed Vessel)2. Many of the sailors volunteered to come and play with the children and do a few work projects.

The Music Program in the Babyhouse was enjoyed as much by the adults as it was by the children!  Quite an aerobics workout!

The Farm Project was a little more ‘labor intensive’.  Clearing property for expansion and building a compost bin in 100+F was a challenge for some.
