Building to God's Glory

 

Our study for this term at school is "Building to God's Glory."  Our trip to Lusaka a couple of weeks ago was part of that study, seeing what had been built in the city.

 

As a follow-up to our trip the children have been divided into groups.  Each group has a project to make or do relating to the trip and building.  One group is building an airport out of Legos.  Another group is building airplanes out of Legos and wire.  They have also built a "truck" to bring diesel to the airplanes.  A third group is building a hospital since they went to visit Gift in the hospital.  When I asked what they needed to have, some of their items were: Gift, wheelchair, beds with wheels, flowers and grass, etc.

 

A fourth group is building bridges.  The fifth group is building a church modeled after Teacher Bosman's church where they had lunch in Lusaka.  And the last group is doing research to try and figure out how many people it will take to make our new school.  They were very curious about how long and how many people it took to build the airport in Lusaka, and other buildings.  So this group is interviewing the workers who are sifting gravel to make the blocks.  They will talk to the block makers.  They will interview Uncle Paul about what other groups of people it will take.  So eventually we should have an approximate number of the people it will take.

 

It is fun to see everyone working away; on tables, on the carpet, on the verandah, etc. – Building to God's Glory.
