Ready to Mail Tiles Today

Here we go...the tiles are wrapped in Radnor gym shirts that were abandoned in the Lost and Found.  I washed them all and carefully surrounded the tiles in shirts to distribute to the volunteers when I get to Bupala.  I can't wait to see the village outfitted in Radnorgear!   Julz was a great packing partner...and my parents did the initial tile wrapping when they were passing through Wayne.
 

Construction Continues...Days 3, 4, 5

CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN!!!

Look!  Construction on the latrine started this past weekend.  Radnor Middle School students and families and friends of RTSD & REF, YOU made this possible.  Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this effort so far.  Our work continues!  I invite you all to attend a tile painting party on my porch FRIDAY, JULY 6th from 5:00 until it's too dark to paint (in which case, we'll likely start a campfire and roast jumbo marshmallows).   EVERYONE'S INVITED!  Let me know if you plan to attend.

Glimpses of Tile Tales at So Fun! Yogurt & Ithan Elementary School



Had so much fun painting tiles at So Fun! Yogurt and Ithan Elementary School this past week. Many budding artist among us. The kids were so excited to tell various tales with their tiles & paintbrushs for their new friends at the Bupala School in Uganda. It was a beautiful sight to see.

 This tile says it all.....smile

 These tiles will bring lots of smiles to the faces of our new friends at the Bupala School!


 Look at these amazing little Van Gogh's....Love it! Thank you Ithan Elementary School for sharing your gifts & tile tales too! What a beautiful way to spend an afternoon.




 Thank you So Fun! Yogurt for a Friday filled with fun, painting and all while sampling your delicious yogurt and toppings too. What a great day!
