Our time is quickly drawing to a close! And to end it well, we have three charming Canadian girls along for the ride—Tiffany, Ashley and Amanda.
They've attracted a bit more attention, and they are having fun and working—good multi-taskers. This morning we picked up a seven-member
quartet! from Kalomo High School and went to the Seven Fountains Church. The girls and I taught the kids' class of about forty-five wee ones spread out all over the grass (glass!). So much fun! What a good group of enthusiastic kids! And well disciplined—they listened to the story, answered every quiz question I gave to them (a tie score for boys and girls). Then the girls and Brenda (from KHS) led songs!
One thing our girls have really enjoyed is singing and listening to the KHS choir—so
they've attended a few (several) of their practices. Brivery is just too impressive a singer! So is Brenda, Innocent, Rocky, Basol, Kezia... some of these are not our sponsored students, but they are in the choir! Tiff is trying to teach them a few English songs.
The weekly to do list is long, but we will enjoy every minute we have left here.

So sad to think of your leaving. You do so much good. What a great experience for the girls. Thank you for mentoring them in such a special way...My hope for Ash is that she will look back on this experience as one that was pivotal in her spiritual formation.

I can't think of many things sweeter than the sound of Zambian children singing. Thanks for the post and the pictures. It makes me "homesick" for Zambia. Love, Marti
