After 2 weeks Easter Break schools go back tomorrow! This is an exciting time as well as a potentially stressful one for teachers. Often after children have been out of their normal routine, and with the children we work, with many times neglected at home, they come back to school badly behaved and generally unruly. While this is understandable, we ask for your prayers for these children and their teachers that they would quickly settle into the new term, that the teachers would be blessed with an extra dose of patience and that learning would be fruitful.
Our Sonshine Academy kids will be blessed with a new volunteer - Brad, who will be with us for about 2 months! Brad came out with the NorthPoint team(from Atlanta, Georgia, USA) and has stayed on to help out where needed! We are so grateful for his willingness to help and we just know that the kids will be so blessed to have a positive male role model around!
We are very excited about this school term and about what is happening in our country as we get ready to welcome the world to South Africa as the Soccer World Cup begins on 11 June. Please keep the Camp Sonshine Africa staff in your prayer too as we plan activities for the extra long winter break holidays! We usually have a 3 week break during this time, but due to World Cup fever hitting our shores we are "blessed" with 5 1/2 weeks of school holidays in the middle of our cold and wet winter! Planning indoor activities for this length of time could be challenging! Any and all ideas are most welcome!
