DAY ONE: 8th Oct 2009

I landed safely at 8.30am and was picked up by two of the careworkers from St Anthony's. The day got off to an unhealthy but YUMMY start with a NANDOS for breakfast! Oh yes, I ate chicken and chips at 9am :s ...made me feel a bit queasy actually.
Got to the orphanage at 3.30pm having slept a lot in the car, was welcomed by a special lunch in my honour with lots of the careworkers and staff - and a 'welcome home Becky' banner! Then I went and saw the kids - got lots of cuddles off the ones who knew me, but 50% of the children are different from last year so they just looked pretty stunned when they saw me!!
MY HOUSE IS LIKE HOME SWEET HOME! I have covered my bedroom with photos, wall hangings and bunting :D It is lovely and clean and I have been given lots of good food - the stuff they cook is awesome, and the cook is going to teach me how she does it :)
I have a visitor in the house with me tonight - an ultra cool nun called Sister Lucia who has leant me her mobile so I could speak to mum and dad [my phone has given up the ghost] and her internet dongle - which is how I am on now!
Hopefully buy my own phone and internet on Saturday.
LOVE YOU ALL - sorry for the rushed-ness of this message :s don't want to use too much of her credit!

  1. Glad you are all settled in Becky and making it all homely. Nandos as 9 in the moring? You have a stomach of steel! I'm not sure I have ever seen an ultra cool nun. You'll have to get some pics of her. Si x
