Getting Ready for School

By Katie

The new school year is about to begin again at Luz y Verdad. I've been getting the computer lab ready by painting it this weekend. It's the same exact color as the inside and outside of our house, so I feel right at home. Today Matt came to help me set up the computers, and found only three that didn't work (which is better than usual!). The school year starts this Monday. It was supposed to start the following week, but things change pretty quickly around here and the date got moved up.

We've been signing kids up for the school year over the past three weeks. We have almost forty students signed up right now. Last year we had over ninety in total, so the teachers are pretty worried that the numbers will be much lower this year. It's probably due in part to the world economic crisis but also we had a pretty difficult and disappointing school year last year. A few teachers got fired, so what remains is to motivate those who continue to work there. Please pray for us!
