Visitors and things.....

Hello everyone
Just a wee update on what has been happening this week. Its been a busy week with people visiting, and also some visitors in my house that I did not appreciate! A team from Magherafelt in Northern Ireland were passing through on the way to Livingstonia which was great - lovely to catch up with some news from 'home' and to see some local newspapers.......and of course its always exciting to get some unexpected gifts from friends so thanks Margaret for the goody bag - much appreciated!!



School started again this week and you can see our very happy bunch of teachers and helpers - they work really hard and I know that parents appreciate the effort they put into their work because we can see the fruits through the children.

Last time I was showing a picture of the carpenter making the swings - well now you can see the children enjoying them - they have really been a blessing to our kids.

and.......the painting I was doing - well if you look at the above two pictures you can see my handiwork (or some of it). I was quite pleased with the way it turned out.

As you can see, our school in Mzuzu is well equiped and the kids have such a great time learning the Montessori way. In our other CCAP schools throughout Mzuzu and indeed throughout the northern region, children are not so fortunate. Here are a couple of our other city schools where they have no equipment and no trained teachers.......and it shows. Next time I will post some of the rural school photos too.

We are still in the process of building a school in Mzuzu and here you can see the progress so far - we are up to roof level on the first building - but still have a long way to go. Here at our school the parents are planning a sponsored walk in the next few weeks so hopefully that will boost the progress. Thanks to all in Northern Ireland and Scotland for their support also - lets continue so that the children can have a beautiful school in Mzuzu.

and just a closing thought......

'wisdom begins with wonder'

I wonder what this child is thinking about.

Wishing you a great day where ever you are

Blessings
