This is our school!

Ahhhhh .... The last day of school for a month! That was sentiment yesterday, as I pack and prepare for Canada today! The last few weeks, the students have been working hard to complete as much as their coursework as possible, in order to move on to the next grade in August. This also means lots of work for us teachers, helping the students tackle tough projects and tests.

Yesterday, we had a short-term visitor from Canada, Shannon, visit our school to take some video footage. She is here in Angola to do some promotional videos for the different ministries. For the school, she is putting together a video to help recruit teachers. Praise the Lord! We need at least one more teacher part-time or full-time to help balance out the workload. I can't wait for her video to be complete, so I can share it and convince you all that teaching at the Mitcha school is an awesome opportunity, especially in light of the shortage of teaching jobs in Canada!

To give you a little glimpse of our school, I took some pics this week of our students. I can't express how wonderful they are-- and of course, these pictures won't either-- but hey, they'll at least give you an idea of the great group we've got here in Lubango!

Our younger kids use the A Beka program--American curriculum that keeps them busy!

I've checked it out ... some of those math questions are hard!

Of course, this grade 5 has no problem ... he's finished before the end of the year!

Gathered together for morning calendar and devotions.  

This is our school! From kindergarten to high school!

And ... they accidentally all wore Mickey Mouse. It's freaky how often they match,
and claim that they didn't plan it! 

Wouldn't be complete without a pic of our future students, out for a wagon ride.
They've got their musical instruments too ... seed pods from a tree on the compound!
