What are we doing there anyway?

Liam(pictured on the left making me a birthday picture a couple days ago) will be going to a bilingual elementary school, pending approval by the school board in Dublan or Juarez. He is pretty happy about getting a whole week off school. Yesterday was his last day here. His class even had a little party for him. Ila and Mei are too young to do anything but hang out with us day and night. Maybe we can find a play group to attend or if there isn't one, we can start one once we are settled into a rental. Rus and I are thinking we might take turns volunteering at the school if we can. We are also wanting to take some spanish language courses, maybe a TEFL course as well. Rus and I aren't really worried about getting work. We have enough saved that it's not necessary. There is already a shortage of jobs for Mexicans, so other than maybe teaching english, we would be taking a job that someone else would need more. I think we will just fill our time with exploring the land and culture and volunteering. Something that Rus and I have been excited about lately is starting a "Plumbers Without Borders". Rus has done some plumbing and is hoping to eventually apprentice. There are doctors, nurses, and engineers without borders, but no plumbers that I have found so far, although the engineers probably do some plumbing. It would be great preventative work. So much of the problems in poorer countries come from poor plumbing or no plumbing at all. The only problem we would have with this is finding the funding for the supplies because I'm sure that one inch of pipe costs more than what some people make in a week. Maybe we could find sponsors. Anyway, this plumbing idea is a long-term plan. Maybe it's just a pipe dream.
