Community Service – notes from Rosalie Whitehill

Shalom,

Wednesday and today (Thursday), I was again at the school where I am happier each day, and today I started getting love notes from some of the kids…..lots of smiles, laughs, and hugs…..just beautiful……and I forgot to mention that I usually go outside during recess (more hugs)….but the best part is the line of girls on the steps doing a kind of line dancing to the music…..and I joined them…..what fun….and my Hebrew is showing some improvement as I am able to have a bit of conversation with some of the taxi drivers who speak less English than I speak Hebrew…..and trying to understand each other is a fun challenge.
