Shingai Primary School

Image
On February 27, 2015 I went to Shingai Primary School (in uniform) for sports day. Four different primary schools (including Shingai) gathered together at the best track, to compete in track, relay, and the high jump (slightly different than ours). It only included grades 5-7 so I missed one of the village kids in 4 th grade do the high jump. L Since then I have gone two full days (leave at 6am, home at 5pm) and two half days (Fridays go 6-2ish) I have enjoyed my classmates, but sometimes the day seems to run on since English is their second language and my second nature so… The first term (from January to end of March) ends on the last day of March. In my class there are 45 students (including me) and one teacher! Every morning we pull out our morning work notebooks and do our morning work out of the English book. Normally after I’m long done, the teacher will finally come in to class. The subjects change depending on the day except for English which is every day and used in ev...

A Warm Welcome Back! :)

Image
Yay! We made it safely back to Jacmel, Haiti with all of our bags. A house has been rented for us not too far from the orphanage, which we have been cleaning and working on with the help of friends. It's been great to be able to come back to such familiar faces. My parents are overseeing the schools and the clinic that are funded by Children's Hope.  The clinic is right outside of the orphanage compound. I was so excited when I saw the finished lab, a new registration office and emergency room. I am doing school with the Peters' (orphanage directors) kids in an independent work style starting at eight and ending anywhere from noon to three. After school, who knows what I'll be doing! Check out this view!!! Shadow selfie! Our roof is pretty big :) I may need to repaint my toenails. JK

"There's No Place Like Home"

Image
From May 9-16 I had the pleasure of seeing our friends from our home church, Sovereign Grace, and my grandparents. My grandpa, who as you may know, is a doctor so he worked in the clinic that is just outside of the orphanage grounds along with my grandma. Rich, Chris, Don and Mr. Newsome went out to some of the schools where they told a bible story to the children.              It was like a breath of fresh air, being able to spend time with “family” (literally and figuratively). I’ve enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people and experiencing different cultures, but “there’s no place like home”. a pastoral meeting of pastors Crafts with the kids Projects around the house There once was a snake..
