Out to LosTambos checking in with everyone. We visited with Ms Lily making plans for the upcoming week.
Ms Lily is proudly displaying the new award that was presented to the school. The LosTambos Government School Best Overall performance for PSE exam 2016. Wonderful progress for everyone, students and teachers. The teachers work very hard to prepare the children for many competitions.

 Then on to Rosanna's house to see how her sewing machine is working and look at projects finished.
Rosanna did a very good job until the hurricane came and wiped out their solar power and the invertor.  She also gave birth to a bouncing baby
girl who is now 7 months old. A lot happens when you haven't been around for two years. Below is one of the dresses that she made before the power went out.

Rosanna has 4 children and wants to be able to make the uniforms for her daughters. We will check out the machine, get a new invertor and spend some time working with the patterns for the uniforms. It is so good to see someone
putting the machines to good use. Rosanna's husband is interested in sewing also. He took a pair of shorts apart and sewed them back together to make them smaller.






We both had to have pictures with the baby! She is beautiful and such a happy
little thing. Joe is thinking he can have her as a donor for a hair transplant.
