Early Morning Sounds
This early morning I am in the orphanage "internet cafe" alone with wet hair and my computer. I can hear the babies fussing for their formula and I'm watching the nannies going back and forth from building to building with pink and blue thermoses of formula. Birds are chirping... but it sounds different...like maybe they are chirping in Mandarin. Every morning the routine is the same...a familiar sound day after day...year after year. This year I am privileged to be sharing the nurse's room with my friend and colleague, Angie, an RN from River Falls. We had a blast yesterday examining the babies and doing their measurements and vital signs. Some of them loved us and a few really didn't like us one bit. But of course we love them all. -Jane Steinmetz

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are going well. I was just thinking about our time last year today - wish I could be there, helping!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Great to hear that you have arrived. I look at your pictures with mixed feelings: shame that I could not join you this time. I hope you have a wonderful time... And I know for sure that your group will make a huge difference in their lives. All the best!
ReplyDeleteKiki, Molly and I got together and lamented not being in Hangzhou with all of those adorable kids. Glad things are going well. Have a Mons for us.
