Teacher to Teacher...Wednesday

Today was our third day at the school in Makeni. It rained this morning which I noticed affected school attendance. The teachers explained that without school bus or even proper raincoats or umbrellas most parents don't allow their children to risk catching a cold. I spoke to a child yesterday on video who claimed he had a four hour walk to school, as unbelievable as that sounds, walking several kilometers seems to the norm. Through all the effort to get to school only to sit in an overcrowded classroom with virtually zero supplies is mind boggling. Often times the conditions are overwhelming as if our supplies and efforts could hardly leave a dent,but when we see the excitement of the students it is obvious that what we are able to provide through the grace of God is making an infinite impact on the 1000 students here, and to come. Please continue to pray for the mission, that the lessons are able to be shared throughout Sierra Leone, and also for Nelson Mandela, a national hero here.     Sawyer

Just in case you were wondering, it is hot and muggy here with storms each evening since you left. Your not missing anything in that regard!:)
THANKS again for the updates. I get up each morning to see what great work you have done today.
