Today we were up early and back to the orphanage! We had Mark and Manny drop us off at the Union Trade Center (UTC), a mall up the hill from the orphanage, so we could pick up supplies. Then from there, we made our way down the hill and into the orphanage. We got right to work on finishing up the first room and beginning to prime the long hallway that stretches the length of the orphanage. It actually didn't take us too long to tape and prime the hallway; we were done with our first coat by lunch time.
While we had been at the UTC, we bought items to make lunch instead of leaving the orphanage and trekking up the hill. It was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and then back to work.
The hallway proved a little more difficult to keep isolated since it connects all of the rooms. So through the day, we had kids running in and out which made for distracted painting. We of course took several breaks to play with the kids and enjoy their company. We even got to meet some new babies, one of which has been affectionately given the name "toddles." He slowly, but surely, toddled his way around the whole orphanage throughout the day. We'll be back to paint and visit the kids tomorrow too.
