Real generosity toward
the future
consists in
giving all
to what is present.

--Albert Camus--

A belated Thank You, Annabelle!

Through the windows of One Candle Schoolhouse we can gaze out over the entrance channel to Port Bonbonon and see the end of the dragon-like tail of Antulang Peninsula. Several times a day the sightseeing vessel, the Annabelle Lee, of ANTULANG BEACH RESORT carries guests to and around the upper basin where cruising yachts are anchored. It was there in the upper basin, in the bamboo cottage at the end of a dock where One Candle Schoolhouse began, that Annabelle first visited our school. Busy schedules and the long drive between our two places have restricted frequent get-togethers but since that time--and more than once!--the crew of Annabelle Lee have been dispatched to deliver gifts to the students of OCS, from Annabelle herself.

Despite our infrequent meetings, Annabelle's generous friendship has remained a constant. Via email she helps us with websites of interest, encourages displays of the student's cards and crafts in the resort's gift shop, and offers support for special student's needs. We have much to be grateful to her for but because our internet connection is extremely slow, until now it hasn't been possible to either email the student's PowerPoint Presentation, or to post it to the blog.

I am happy to have found a hosting site that allows the children's animations to remain, but have yet to figure out how to delete the extra slide presentations that come after ours, so in the interest of avoiding further delay to honoring our friend, I will publish it as is and change it later...
