Running for Shelter

The drops are starting to fall and the children who sit under trees for their lessons run for shelter at the nearby unfinished school building. Below, students are standing next to the current school building waiting out the rain.
Last Tuesday the temperature got to a cool 72 degrees. For us this means longs sleeves, jackets, and for some like Gaby Masso wrapping up in a snuggly blanket. With this cooler weather we have also had an increase in light rain showers. As I walked to school on Tuesday the sky above me was threatening rain. An hour or so after I arrived the showers came and the children scattered. Some probably ran home, while others just ran for shelter in the nearby unfinished school building. We are definitely thankful for every bit of rain we get, but I will also be glad when the new school is finished so that school lessons are not disrupted by weather changes. I'm sure some of the students didn't mind though, they seemed to enjoy checking out the new classrooms.
