Royal Welcome



Students teaching a Bemba lesson to Garrett

As soon as we were within sight of the school it was as if a floodgate opened and 300 children poured  into the school yard to welcome us.  Happy chaos as little brown hands grabbed big white hands and tugs and hugs of welcome were shared.  The morning at the Young Peacemaker's School was full of activity.  All of the children are still in the one-room of the church while the finishing touches are being made to the new classrooms.  Each member of the team had brought along a copy of their favorite childhood book which they read to the children.  We now have K-5 grades (5th grade was just added this month) so everyone rotated from one grade to another with one fun picture book after another.  As soon as the books were finished art supplies were distributed and the children drew pictures that we plan to use to make notecards to sell.  A great kick off to our school adventure!
