new market, another workshop, continuing the work


This morning the team went to visit and help out at the New Market NFE.  Unfortunately I had to stay back to teach English class. We usually have English classes on Mondays, but our eager beaver students, most of which are NFE teachers, insisted on holding class on Tuesday before their workshop since Monday was a holiday.  I wished I could have been there with the team. Rumor has it Julia was asked to share “a story”, and Julia being the one who fears public speaking the most, stood up and pulled from her childhood memories to teach a song on Jonah that incorporates math and movement.  Amazing.  So proud of her.  So wish I was there...

The 3rd teacher workshop, on early childhood development, was held this afternoon.  Grace and Julia once again did an amazing job.  The teachers were once again raving about the workshop.  It was neat to see lightbulbs go off, and watch he faces of teachers as their minds were being opened and broadened through the workshop.


The work continues on the IT and microcredit projects and the vocational training program.  Jae hit up some tech stores to get some equipment and tools he needed.  Albert and Jane are continuing with interviews and work on microcredit.  The team is all doing an amazing job… they just run with all the work. I feel so blessed just watching them do their thing.
