Times 2

Have you met Ibrahim yet? I can't remember if I've introduced you. Both
of these boys would not only do great in a photo shoot for an album
cover but both are named Ibrahim, both are new this term and both are in
my Transition classroom. They have almost all of their alphabet down,
and can write their name with out 'copy copy' as we say here. I think we
can all relate to being a 'newcomer', these guys impress me all the time
with their courage and skill and ability to absorb all that happens on
our compound. A mixture of tribes and cultures, new languages, exposure
to a different religion, new food, new people, new everything. I think
you'd be impressed too if you had the chance to meet them. One is very
quiet, while the other learns through experience- he wants to touch and
be a part of everything.

Stephanie, what's.....

We really love to read around here!

this is the way I wash my food?

Cleaning cassava is a team effort- eating it is too.

Welcome Back

Kadir, a boarding student here in 2009 returned this week after a two
year absence. He left to help his family- his brother was sick. But now
he's back, wracking his brain to remember everything he knows. Praising
God that he found education and our place here important enough to return.

Devin and Bridget looking very Nigerian while celebrating with our staff

Wedding

Our PN teacher got married yesterday. It was a beautiful celebration of
their commitment to choosing God's best, which just happened to be one
another. I would have thought that the wedding party would have been
more interesting than the whites but I guess not everyone agreed.
