The last couple of days have been pretty quiet at Holy Cross. There have been a few visitors who have brought supplies and toured the school. We have sent home lots of sick kids -- and adults. At least one teacher has been sick each day this week. Two left early today. Hand sanitizer is flowing like water!

This afternoon the boys' soccer team played New Horizon and lost 2-1. They had a strong first half but let their guard down late in the second half. The new uniforms still have not arrived. Maybe they will provide some new energy for the boys. The playing field is basically a flat rectangle of packed down dust with a goal at each end. There is no grass on the field, only a little along the sidelines. Some of the boys play barefooted. A good sized group of Standard VI students, along with their teacher, Ms. Joy, were in the stands to cheer for the team. I walked back after the game with Ms. Joy and a few of the girls. It was a long walk but pretty along the beach. It was fun to hear the girls chatter and giggle.

This weekend begins a 10-day event, Boogie in Belize, which involves dozens of sky divers. They will jump throughout the next week. Of course, plans include parties, music, and parties. One can do a tandum jump with some of the real jumpers. Don't get excited -- there will be no pictures of me as I jump. I plan to watch some of the jumping but will have my feet planted firmly on the ground!! I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I will try to include some photos of others floating to earth.

Have a good weekend.
