It is Thursday after our Christmas celebration. The children have performed for their parents, and the certificates have been given out. Tomorrow we will celebrate the victory that saw Bangladesh become and independent country 40 years ago and then the school is out until January.
We have had a couple of hectic weeks with exam preparations, exams and then evaluating the children. One of the last tasks was to print the report cards with the children's results. We did have a few problems with the printer and quite a few report cards failed to print the first time.
My mother has said she wanted a star for Christmas and while she was helping me sort the report cards - my parents are volunteering here at LAMB for three months - we thought of trying to make one.
It isn't quite finished, but the card the reports for the children are printed on worked perfectly and with a few more failures on the printer we will be able to finish it.

My father took the pictures of the process and the (almost) finished star to prove to everyone that failures, even on a printer, can become stars.
(No children were hurt or failed in the process of making the star.)
