Canaan School





Along with teaching Bible study twice a week in the afternoons at Amani, Arielle and I have begun teaching twice a week at a village/orphanage school called Canaan. At Canaan we have about 85 children in our class. All of them were eager to learn about Adam and Eve and Noah this past week and loved our Noah's Ark puppet show and creating their own arks in their school books. Although none of the children speak English, we have a translator who works alongside us. Many of these children are sponsored to be at school and therefore know that school is a big deal here in Uganda. We are thankful for this opportunity and are happy to be a part of Canaan school now!

Hi girls! I am back on the blog after a little bit of an absence. I have now been safely moved and settled in to my lodging in Maryland for a week now. Having so much fun too!! I am a tourist and a student at the same time.

I am glad to hear things are going well for you still and look forward to reading updates again.
