Helping orphans, reaching the lost and needy

Sunday, August 15, 2010

As promised, here are some photos of summer school at the Children's Home. It's going really well. Since all the older children are at Teen Missions (coming back on Thursday), there are only two classes right now. Main focus is reading, writing, and spelling. 

This is Jeremiah, he and his wife run an A.C.E. school in Ghana (looking at the possibility of starting one in Cameroon too)

The older boy is Jackson who lives with Jeremiah's family in Ghana. He is 15, a very sweet young man.

The little girl is their daughter Hannah, who is three going on 30, she is so smart! Her and Jude have been having a lot of fun together. They also have a 5 month old boy, Jonathan.

The older girl is 15 year old Myriam who is from Ivory Coast but moved to Ghana to go to school there. She is a lovely girl and a great help. She is a whiz a pictionary (we've been playing that with them a lot)!


SCA (Homeschooling co-op) went well this week, the boys are having a lot of fun with all of their friends and learning lots. Jude and Jordan have been doing good too, but by the end of the afternoon I'm beat! I enjoyed sleeping in till 7:45 this morning, I really needed it! On Thursday it was "crazy hair day" so Jake had a blast styling the boys' hair. One more week of SCA and then we start regular homeschooling, really looking forward to it.








Needless to say, the Josh and Seth both have very short hair now :-D

I love it! Wow they are getting so big. Can't believe how much Seth has grown up since he was in my Wednesday night class at church last summer. Way to go Holly you are doing an awesome job with all the kids.
