New kids

We welcomed three new students this week. We have over a hundred students now. Our little school is already running out of space! The Secretary of State of Education has asked us to add Saturday classes for adult deaf who need remedial classes in reading. Please keep praying for us.

We have been greatly blessed with a donation for buying batteries to go with the inverter.  Very soon we will have electricity for all or most of the school day. Up till this point we have had only very limited electricity daily. This is how an inverter works. When the electricity is on, the inverter charges up the batteries. When the electricity goes off, the inverter begins drawing on the battery power that is stored, and provides electricity until the city electricity comes on again.

Now we begin the task of getting and installing fans in each classroom. The classrooms are quite hot, although they are much better since the renovation.

Every Monday we are having chapel services for the children, and they are enjoying it very  much. The parents are reporting to us that their children are learning much from these services, and they are pleased. The children give their prayer requests, and learn all about trusting in the Lord for their needs, and the grace of living in obedience to him. They are even going home and teaching their parents about the Lord!
