Two years ago today we dedicated the David Warner Kindergarten, on what would have been Dave's sixty-first birthday. It's the present that keeps on giving: the school is thriving and fifty happy children attend every day.Pulling up to the front gate I initially didn't recognize the place -- the trees we planted in March 2007 have grown into a beautiful, shady grove.
Friends and neighbors were waiting on the front steps when we arrived, and the kids were ready to receive us with very enthusiastically-performed songs.
The atmosphere in the classroom is dynamic and happy; the yellow walls are covered in learning aids, decorations, and student artwork.
We stopped for gift-giving and picture-taking, then said our good-byes... till next time.
Happy birthday, David. You'll be glad to know that your kids are doing just fine.

In this season of renewal and rebirth, a bit 'Thank you, Sue', for sharing so joyfully the stories of David's & Jesse's schools, and the ongoing work of Peacetrees Vietnam and friends.
