We are in our fourth week of the school term now at Cornerstone Learning Centre. Yesterday, my mom and I taught our second computer class at the school. It's been a great adventure so far. None of our kids had even touched a computer before, so we got to start with the basics: “This is a computer. Computers store information, like documents, pictures, videos, calendars, etc. This is a cursor. You move the cursor by…” The kids are just eating up everything and have lots of questions. It’s great to see them learning all this now, so that when they are older, they will have the knowledge to write papers, store pictures, use disk-drives, use email, etc. Being involved in their learning process is so fun!
Then tonight, Laurie and I are having Margret and Charity, two of our young girls at the orphanage, come and spend the night at our house. We have been doing this every Friday for the last two months: taking two kids, making American food for dinner and breakfast, playing card games and watching a movie (“Ice Age”) together. It’s so much fun to get to have individual time with our kids. I’m looking forward to tonight, especially because both of these girls have so much personality. (Margret was trying to tell me something the other day and I said, “What? I didn’t hear you.” Margret said, “Teacher Abby, you mean that you don’t understand English??” She is such a character!). It should be an interesting sleepover tonight…
Well, I’m going to go and finish resting on my day off. Ahh, electricity, cold water, and internet all in the same place. Gotta love Friday...
Have a great weekend! Thanks for the prayers, support, and communication- I love hearing from everyone.
