Today I again had an opportunity to travel up in the mountains to visit a little remote school. The road that we traveled on to get there a very rocky rough road along the side of the mountain.
We went to gather information about the school and visited 2 classes, the preschool class and the grade 6 classroom. The small children were very cute. It was sort of sad to see 68 kids all squished into their tiny classroom, but the children were all happy to be there and to have the opportunity to learn.
I think that I would have a hard time learning at that school though because right next to the preschool is the grade 6 classroom. When we were in that classroom we could barely hear the students talking to us because the preschool children were loudly reciting their lessons. But I guess it is all a part of education here.

So fun to see pictures of you and Elsa looks great! Love the school kids and their sweet smiles. Great to see you guys blogging again! Amy and family
68 kids in a classroom, and the loudest noise is their lessons being recited - You are definately NOT in the US!
Love the pictures. Sometimes it is hard to feel connected. This really helps. Give the kids all a big hug from me. I'm hoping to see them soon, Lord willing!
