Visitors from above

The last 3 days at CFI were one tremendous cleaning-, filing- and making-things-look-pretty -upheaval.
Thanks to that, our office has now again enough space to move without hitting over a guitar or set of publications, our storeroom can actually be used for storing and, importantly, finding stuff and our medical drawers are again arranged in a way that allowed me to treat a student's knee-wound in an efficient way (without first pulling out three drawers and spreading their contents across the table).
As an extra, all the bathrooms and other rooms are cleaned neatly, the outside areas are swiped and the walls are all plastered with charts teaching children alternatively about human rights, numbers, animal names and the alphabet.
Now, reader, you may inquire: why? what for? or you may not, thinking order being a high principle in itself.
There is, however, a reason to all this: In the afternoon hours of Wednesday, an envoy from the department of social affairs, responsible for all orphanages in the area, came for his first check-up visit to CFI.

So in the end of the day, there were three things to rejoice about:
The cleanliness of the center (somewhat marred by flower petals scattered around after the envoy's departure); The little number of complaints from the envoy; And, most importantly, many happy, smiling children, trying to fit out the staff members with flowers :)
