I think this pictures is a good summary of our life here in the island, kids and sleep.

We teach classes three times a day.  The morning and afternoon session are younger kids, the evening is a group of teenagers.  After lunch, before the afternoon class, a few of us from the team typically head down to the river to take a nap.  One of our first days on the island, we discovered this awesome nap location, it is an old, falling-apart temple, on the river; there is shade and a cool breeze.

Besides sleeping, teaching, and playing with kids, we have been busy creating more of the holiday spirit in our room.  We have a number of snowflakes hanging from our tents, a tree on the wall, a fireplace with fire, and stockings.  For being on a hot island, this look pretty good to me.
