good news and bad news

You always give the bad news first, then finish with the good:

-the bad news: The BAICA capital campaign that has been going on to raise funds for the new school building -- which we have to be in to get official approval from the Argentine government or risk being shut down, has been lagging behind. So apparently the deal is, if we don't get some serious donations by this Saturday, we might have to shut down BAICA.

-the good news: I was able to spend this past weekend with Grandpa, who was here from England visiting. We don't get to see each other much, since we live across a big pond from each other, so it was great getting to spend time with him.
