It Begins...First Meeting

Hello from Sierra Leone!  Let me explain about all the mistakes in Marti's post...I was typing at 6:30 this morning in the dark.!

It's now almost 5 p.m.  We have had a busy day!  We met with the head teachers. Lisa presented her math and science curriculums. She will be teaching the upper level teachers this week. Marti presented the virtues curriculum and ideas for positive reinforcement. Marti and Linda will be teaching the lower level teachers. Amy and Pat presented ideas for the administration of a staff and answered questions.  Sawyer was busy taking video and being pursued by kids to have their picture taken.

Meanwhile the boxes and boxes of books arrived for the library. Sharon was just a bit overwhelmed with the idea of organizing all of them.

Please to pray for us. Pray for energy as we work in the hot humid condition. Pray that we will show the love of Jesus to the teachers and students...the kids are still in school.

Thanks for your support and encouragement!   Sharon

Sounds like things have been busy, but productive. I know how overwhelming managing a library can be so my thoughts are with those getting that all arranged. Training teachers sounds so invigorating! I can't imagine the challenges there, but know anytime you get teachers together who want to learn, great things happen.

Hello to the whole team, especially Mom and Dad (Pat and John). Keep the news coming and stay well!

My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Melissa
