School is open and we are at work!

The school is open at last! Only a few kids per class arrived the first day back, but by yesterday we had three-fourths of the students. Some are hard to contact, so we have to wait for them to get in touch with us, in order to let them know that school has reopened. This is due to the fact that people change cell p hone numbers almost constantly. Often cell phones are stolen, and other times they simply haven't put money on them recently and lose the number.

We have a work team here of four adults and six teens. They are doing a great job, but I'm going to let them speak for themselves. You can read the blog of one of the teens, at this address: DR blog. He has even posted some video.

Thanks for your prayers. We are all so pleased to be in our renovated space. It is wonderful to have bathrooms with running water! And it is great to have a little more space to move around in. We are still getting the walls decorated. We want this to be a haven for these deaf children, a place where they can be at peace, a place where they know they are loved. All this for Jesus' sake.
