…the students – and now teachers get a break, right? Wrong! We have just 5 short weeks until school starts again since we are making the transition from the trimester to the semester system this year. It gives us very little time to complete all our projects for the coming school year.
But we have help on the way! Our daughter Gina and her husband Brian will be here in just 2 1/2 weeks, and we have plans for them – at least for the first week. After that, we’ll take a break and show them some of Cote d’Ivoire.
Bob is fixing up his classroom, painting it and building a science lab cabinet. He hopes to add a sink to this cabinet if the money from a gift we received will go that far. He wants to be able to do more experiments etc. in middle school science next year.
My work doesn’t change, although I am trying to inventory all the campus computers so I can make plans for the future. I want to make sure that teachers who really use the computers have the best ones. Some of our old ones can be used in places where all they do is e-mail. As well as a few improvements to our servers, those are
my summer plans.
This Sunday, July 7th, is election day again in Cote d’Ivoire. One of the candidates is the same candidate whose supporters caused so much disruption twice before when he didn’t win. Please pray for a peaceful election, regardless of who wins. Just last week, some of his followers burned a village market not far from here, killing 15 people. The military is already beginning to make itself felt around town, which is not always an improvement. Just remember us in your prayers as you always do.
