With school having opened I returned home to Idaho for a short period and before I knew it it was time to return to the village in January. In a couple of quick short months I was amazed to see what had been going on in the classroom. It was with utter joy to have seen 40 of the Lords most precious confident, singing, praising angels. All orphaned and vulnerable children from the surrounding village territory learning and receiving a nutritious meal each day. Words can’t explain the emotions I had knowing the difference being made for these children who would otherwise be left hanging in the balance. To God be all the Glory!

Our teacher Patrick is a teacher on any world scale, so gifted at what he does! We’ve been so blessed to receive various donations in classroom supplies. One of which from Zoo Phonics an English as a second language teaching program. As you’ll see in the pictures below I had two teachers from Idaho Shirley Hadley and Terri Luth arrive in the village to teach Patrick how to use the program. We are thankful for their coming as to well to Zoo Phonics for their contribution.

Many exciting events continue to occur as we make progress toward completion of our homes. One thing I do know is education is key to a brighter future for the children of Malawi and from what I saw and continue to see Patrick is well on his way to helping in that area for his own people.
