School Daze

We have word that they've found a school teacher to come in and teach preschool at our O. AND he speaks fluent English! We're so excited!

You can't imagine how boring it is to be one of 50 kids in an orphanage with no room to run around.

The school season in Haiti starts in September, so our teacher will start then as well. That means that by the time we go down (Oct 12th) Malot will have had a few weeks of preschool under his belt. It was apparent from our first trip that he hasn't had a lot of opportunity to use crayons or pencils. He really didn't know how to use them. It was like watching my 2 year old neighbor color.

I'm so happy that Malot will have something to think about and learn!

Two points for the Lord!

Yippee! Thanks for pushing for this Lori! ;) Now our kids will have even more fun memories together! They will be schoolmates as well.
