A Special Week, School Clubs Begin

A Special Week: School clubs begin

This week we began an exciting program at our school. Many children
were arriving early and by the time the bell ran for class they would
be quite dirty from playing around. At the same time, we wanted to
have some extra-curricular activities or clubs to explore things that
the children were interested and for which there was not time in the
school day. So we put the two together and started having clubs
before school at 7:15. Each day we have a helping team that fills the
water containers, lights the fires in the braziers for cooking lunch,
and makes sure all the pots are clean. Now, in addition to the
helping team we have:
Monday: Choir 1, and Math Club
Tuesday: Choir 2 and Art Club
Wednesday: Praise Dance, Needlework, and Jets (the Science clubs in Zambia)
Thursday: Piano and SoL (Servants of the Lord doing servant activities
around the property)
Friday: Debate and Press Club
Most of the teachers have one extra activity. I have a few more since
I have to open anyway and I've been trying to find a way to
incorporate more music training.

Now the challenge will be to maintain the enthusiasm and the energy by
the teachers to keep it all going.
