School Visit

Today I got to visit Harvesters Christian School, which is within our compound. It is a primary school of about 500 students (from the orphanage and the community) preschool and grades 1 to 8. I was lucky enough to observe a grade seven class for Maths, English and Christian Religious Education and a grade eight for English. While there were some remarkable similarities with home, such as a question about Adam and Eve having sex in Religion. The differences were also remarkable. The children were incredibly polite and well behaved, despite being very crowded in their seats. I won't be ever complaining about class or classroom size, lack of Tech resources or air conditioning again!


The kids cleaning up the compound after school, they picked up and swept so many leaves.


Maths lesson on number value.


While school assembly every morning, including flag raising, national anthem & praise singing and announcements.

Work, Health and Safety is a bit different here, imagine if we let the kids at home burn leaves?
