About a month ago we met with the community and the headmen in the area to discuss the addition of a primary school to follow the education of the preschool. We all agreed that for the children and the future of this community, it was best if we come together and build the primary school. Jako and I were thinking that we might get some of it built this year and hopefully open grade one by 2014, but the school building committee got together quickly and already have a lot of the land cleared where they are going to want to put the school. The more we thought and prayed about it, the more we think it would be a huge blessing to the children if we are able to complete the first building before this year finishes so that we can open grade 1 in January. We know that if we send the children elsewhere for a whole year, they will regress in their learning and maybe even loose interest in learning. The children have come so far this year and are doing so well, we want to continue that for them, providing them with a learning environment that continues to challenge their thinking, expand their minds, and expose them to things they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to.
I am asking you all to spread the word, begging those around you to pray for this vision…asking God to provide everything that we will need for this to happen. We can’t do this alone and greatly appreciate all the prayers and help we can get!!
Thank you for your support and encouragement this far, I only pray that you all choose to continue partnering in God’s kingdom here in the villages of Zambia…
