The schools are closed in Sierra Leone, both for the Christmas Break and for a country-wide census. Many of the teachers in the country are employed for this work given their level of literacy. School will begin again mid January. I am pretty excited about my upcoming visit to our Christian School in Kabala and will be sure to bring greetings from you, the group of faithful supporters who make this little miracle happen from one year to the next. If all goes well I will arrive in Sierra Leone on the 22nd of January and return on February 16th. The main purpose of my visit is encouragement. To change the educational system in this country is no small task but step by step this is happening. Our school is out performing most schools in the country and though there is much still that needs improvement, the children that attend are getting a far superior education that will be for them, the Christmas gift of a lifetime. With this kind of education they will be able to raise themselves and their families out of poverty toward a sustainable way of living. Thank you for your support and blessings in the year that awaits us.
