What an amazing day!!
The drive to the school through the many different slums was full of sights that reminded me of the infinite blessings in my own life. My heart was both warmed and saddened by what I saw. Through extreme poverty, there was hope.
At the school, we were greeted with smiling and singing children! The pure joy from the kids was an unbelievable experience. We sang and danced together, giving glory to God and having a BLAST. I've never been so uninhibited to dance and let loose, their joy just electrifies you.
Ginger led a wonderful devotion..."God speaks and God calls" Modern day Moses' all around the world are helping to lead people out of poverty and dire circumstances through God's callings and many blessings.
We then met with some of the teachers. What these women can do with 50 kids and a piece of chalk is miraculous. We talked with them about some lessons we will be modeling on Friday...we are focusing on how to ability group the students and use data to drive your instruction to help all kids be successful. I cannot wait to get into the classrooms with those precious children.
Tomorrow we travel to the secondary school to work with the teachers there. We will mainly focus on electronic data entry to help expedite and align the record keeping of the school and data driven instruction. I am excited to meet the educators there and visit with some older kids. Jen tells me that they are true inspirations...
Many Blessings!! Miss you all!!
