Taking advantage of spending ALL day at home in my PJs!!! (And knowing that next week will be packed and today would be my only opportunity all week!)
How fun it was to take time out to attend Mangwaneni, Mbabane's preschool graduation yesterday! Remember, our school year goes from the end of January until the end of November. December and January are our summer break! (Our seasons are the opposite of those in the states.)
Yes, in previous years our graduation was for those that had completed grade 2. But, praise the Lord, the government is now providing free education for first and second grade and we were required to no longer provide that. There are still kinks that they are working out but we are thankful the government is working to make education for ALL a priority! Continue to hold the Swazi government up in prayer for wisdom and good choices in dispersing the funds needed and making necessary changes to reduce the sizes of the classes.
Next year will also be different at our CarePoints as Children's Cup continues to make changes to better serve the community and the needs of the orphan and vulnerable children.
Continue to keep us in your prayers!!!
Here are some shots of the wonderful ceremony and celebration of learning!!!
Both academic and spiritual!
These guys know their scriptures and it is in their second language!!! Puts me to shame!
They shared the days of creation! And who did it???? GOD!!!
They shared their colors, days of the week, months of the year, alphabet,
memory verses and Psalms 100!!!!
Amazing!!! What a blessing!!!
I love these kids and feel privileged to be able to share with them.
Check out the prayers, the sharing of what they learned
and the dancing in celebration complete with high traditional Swazi kicks!!!
So proud!!!!
