Galab Wanaagsan! (Good Afternoon)

The view from our classroom door into the central courtyard of the Eastleigh Centre.

Paul and his Dadaab Team have returned after a successful time in North Eastern Province. They completed most of their project, with the exception of a water tower that we will be returning to finish near the end of February. They had a safe trip with no complications. Thank you for praying with us.



Our classes went very well today in Eastleigh. Erica began her beginner ESL class and started working with Ido, her language helper. It was a difficult session with so many other Somali girls jumping in to help (Privacy is almost an impossibility in Eastleigh). Ido was not bothered by the disruption, and told Erica that she was doing great and she would learn Somali in two months. "Somali is MUCH EASIER than English" Ido said. We can only pray that she is right.

We are continually amazed by the warmth of our students. On Monday, Erica had complimented one of my students, Zahra, on her beautiful head scarf. As we were leaving class today, Erica was delighted when Zahra presented her with the scarf. God is good.
