This month we taught the children more about letters because they are so weak in the alphabet. It's a bit challenging. Their improvement is slow as they aren’t reviewing what they learnt in class when they are home, and some have been absent this month for a little while.

*Davit, our Armenian cook is continuing to make and prepare Armenian pastries and recipes that are very delicious. He is a good and simple man. Every time he comes to the office, he brings everyone some candies.

At Um Salem’s home in Muwaqqar Village, the number of goats increased as did the amount of production. She is making goat fat, milk, butter, and jameed, which is a salty thick yogurt used for the traditional Jordanian dish called mansaf. Um Salem is selling it to her neighbours and this improves her income. Now, she can buy chicken and meat for her family with the money she has earned.

Um Abdallah was preparing the sheep for the new season. She shaved their wool because the weather is very hot all over Jordan. Also, she has seven sheep which are pregnant and are supposed to give birth in the next two months.

Thank you!
