We have been pretty busy the past couple of weeks! It has been a lot of fun but a lot of work. The schools here run from January to October. So the Art, Cooking and Carpentry Schools follow the same schedule. After school is over we take off one week and then we have what we call vacation schools. This is a two week school in which we have all different students in the schools for a two week mini program. In the art school we had close to 50 students, we had 22 in the cooking school and 10 in the carpentry school.
This is an opportunity to invite to students into the schools and gain some valuable skills and be able to minister to some different kids and families. One of the other things we are able to do during these couple of weeks is use the regular students from the schools and give them opportunities to teach and lead different things. This helps us develop them as leaders and teachers as well.
Jennifer has been teaching young ladies at the cooking school and I have been helping in the Art School. One of the highlights of these two weeks for me was being able to do some small devotionals for the kids in the art school. I was also able to pray in Spanish for the first time! Enjoy a few more photos below:
