School Days
Sep 14th, 2009 by kelley johnson
Matara was bustling with activity this week as children donned new uniforms and transformed into students. A short walk from the village and they will be sitting in their new classrooms ready to learn.
Primary students and secondary students, boys and girls – all eager and a bit nervous to begin a new school year. Will the other kids like me? Will the teacher call on me? Will I understand the letters she puts on the chalkboard? The first day of school is always filled with such questions. But we are excited that our students get to walk to class together giggling and proudly carrying their new backpacks filled with freshly sharpened pencils and notebooks, and they get to learn!
ahhhh…this is sooo cool!
How AWESOME!! These pictures tell such a beautiful story of God’s grace – and progress for the Twa. Thanks so much for keeping us updated!
