New School

We're in the new classroom!!
Monday morning saw us setting off to start the new term in the new school! :-)

It was good to get back into lessons, but this time in the wonderful new learning space.

From the far corner, looking towards the door:

As Juba temperatures climbed through the South Sudanese day, the new air-conditioner in our classroom proved its worth. This is a machine that is VERY much appreciated!

Last Friday saw Joel and I shopping for office furniture to furnish the school room. We found just what we needed. The carpenters finished off this desk for us while we waited on the street.

It was a hot wait, with sweat plastering our hair to our heads and pouring off all of us- even Joel! But it was definitely worthwhile. One week later, we have completed our first week in the new school room and have thoroughly enjoyed the new space, the new furniture and the new air-conditioner!

  1. Wonderful! It all looks very professional, maps and charts on wall, books on the bookcase , storage boxes and carpets even a teacher's desk? ESTHER and BEN are studying hard. All very impressive. Is Ben like Diddle diddle dumpling with one shoe on and the other shoe off? Even JOEL has found a little seat. What a generous gift from St M's and a reward for all your hard work �� love nana xx

  2. The new classroom looks really good. Must be good to have the split between house and classroom that this allows. Definitely looks like a place that lots of learning can take place. Tim

  3. Wow, how brilliant is that classroom, so much better for you all having a separate space to learn and more exciting too. Home can now be home.
    Love to you all
    Pauline & John

  4. It's wonderful to see your new classroom up and running and to hear what a difference it is making. Esther and Ben look very smart in their bright yellow T-shirts... Just like Farnborough Road!

Still in East Africa!
