It's warming up in Saskatchewan! Only -14C this afternoon ~ and with no wind and a clear, blue sky it felt fine outside!
Hope your day was a good one!

Testing, testing!
December 26, 2009
It's been almost a year since I posted (or rather since Bill posted for me, thanks Bill). I'm determined to learn - so have dedicated a bit of time today to figuring this blog thing all out!
So...greetings again!
Today I'm back at work after enjoying much family time and food yesterday. Our house was full as were our tummies! Today, the kids are mostly dispersed to other sides of their families.
Tim and Krista are back out to the farm, Tori and Sharon flew to Winnipeg this am. Tiffany and Layne went down to the farm - for hockey and more food and fun! Aaron and Lorraine are staying close to home - the countdown for grandchild # 1 is on. January - the birth month is very soon!
Between the feasting times yesterday our family put together a sing song at the hospital. My patients were a great participatory audience and seemed to appreciate our short, and mostly unrehearsed visit!
February 18 we leave for 6 months in Zambia - and are looking forward to being back with our friends there!
It is -21 today - so the warmer weather will be an additional bonus!
Enjoy the season and all its fellowship,
Sue

grade 7 students write government exams!!

along with grade 7 students
Every year grade 7, 9 and 12 Zambian students must write government exams. They are tough—even tougher if a student has not had a proper learning environment. With donor help ZMF-C has been able to assist with creating better learning environments. Many donors have assisted so that classrooms, teacher housing and toilets can be built. As well, donors have contributed toward community teacher “bonuses/salary”. Containers sent from Canada have been filled with desks, blackboards, paper, textbooks, shoes, and uniforms.
The 2008 Siabalumbi results are out and the scores were great! The teachers and students are thrilled. This translates to further education opportunities for students.
Thanks, for being a part of creating better learning environments for Zambian children and for being part of their future goals!
