Hope Educational Centre

Posted on July 13, 2010 by

I finally got to go to the school–Hope Educational Centre–yesterday.  I walked down the dirt road by myself and greeted the locals with one of just a few phrases I know in Kisii!  One lady tried to carry on a conversation, but of course, I didn’t know what she was saying.  The kids were excited to see me and I was to see them!  They sang and touched my hand and we played jumprope.  I met the new teachers and visited all the classes.  Later was a board meeting for the school which I was invited to join.  It lasted from ~4:30 until 9 PM, with only a break for tea!  We ended with beautiful singing with harmony only they know how to do!  It was a great meeting; lots of progress has been made with the school and we are anticipating more good things to come.  I am blessed to be a part of this school and community and for this calling.  Mungu ni mwema/God is good!
