Now that the day to day program is running more smoothly, our focus is shifting to the administrative challenges that need to be addressed before Neal and I leave the country in 6 weeks. Our primary concern is finding a system of financial management that gives us plenty of oversight and can be managed from afar (without being a full time job), but that also allows enough flexibility for unexpected but necessary expenditures. This is, evidently, a tall order, and we are exploring lots of options, but we would love suggestions from any of you. Financial management is not a skill set with which we have a lot of experience. But rather than reinventing the wheel, we think that through the resources of our community on several continents we can come up with a solution that will be both functional and flexible.

Robert and the kindergarten - Video
Things at the library are definitely
starting to get into a rhythm now. Robert continues to impress us all
with his patience and creativity working with the children, and we
see more and more kids from the neighborhood coming in to read. Here
is a little video clip of the kindergarteners' time this week (video
credit to my lovely father Marty Smilkstein) – Robert was reading
to them from a story about two otters named Pilou and Lalie.
