Back in Zambia

There has been a long delay in my writing for this blog.  I left Zambia around Feb 15 to return and help our daughter, Kristina, with her new baby, Zionalpha, born February 13.  I had a wonderful time with my kids and grandkids, friends - old and new.  I returned on Monday night and have been getting back in the swing of things.

Wednesday marked the end of the first school term of 2010.  The teachers had done a wonderful job in my absence and we had a closing with the housemothers and aunties on Wednesday morning ending with cake.  The teachers and I met over lunch at our take-away to discuss highlights of 2010 as well as goals we have for the next term which starts at the beginning of May. 

The children are doing well, they are learning to read and their math skills have improved.  They had cleaned up all around the school and done some landscaping so it looks so nice when you pull up to the school.  So today I gathered games, and other activities to give to the houses so that the children will have extra activities to do during the month's break. 

Sunday we will celebrate Easter at our Hope Community Church.  We have seen His risen power at work in our midst over the last year!
