I promised videos, so I am going to try to put them up, but after this I think I am going to try to focus on the rebuilding rather than what happened last Friday. It's a bit depressing to continue to see pictures and scenes of the destruction. A lot of progress has been made in the last two days and the continued offering of support both locally and internationally has been impressive. So, hopefully in the next few days I will have a chance to take some pictures that are a bit more positive; like the scene today outside of the small gym (or should I say second grade wing as it will now be housing the entirety of second grade). There were at least 20 people assisting Kaylee and her teaching partners, Craig and Stephanie, cleaning and moving every piece of salvageable teaching material into their new home.
The distribution of this blog was originally intended to share a glimpse of life in Tunis with our family and friends at home. I can tell from our recent page view spike that it has clearly become more than that. Although widespread distribution is not really our intent, I understand the need for people, here and at home, to have access to as much information as possible. I can appreciate that need better now after spending Friday night jumping between four email accounts, facebook, satellite TV, online news sources, and the phone. That being said, I am a bit hesitant to share some of these videos. I don't know if ACST parents are following this blog (or students for that matter), and I am not sure if the students that previously attended class in the burnt building should really see them now in as much detail as these videos offer. In the end, I am a supporter of the sharing of information, especially now, so you have been warned. Like I said in the beginning, starting with our next post I am going to aim a little more positive.
Thanks again for all of the support.
