The First Day of School!

It is the first day of school in Romania! Around the world, this is a big day... a day to start something new, to meet new friends and catch up with the old and of course to learn new things! It is no different here. Our kids have been looking forward to this day for weeks. Some with the dread of summer actually ending, but most with an excitement to get started. Here they are on the first day of the 2007-2008 school year... Casa Rebeca, Casa Nadia & Casa Ana!





While the first of our "kids" is entering high school today (Elis Simon... pray for her, as she is a little nervous), there are also three who are moving up in the world another way... These three little ones... Daniela, Sergiu & Fanel (pictured here with their tutor, Mira) are starting first grade! What a big day and big year for them!

Pray as well for our "Little School House." These four kids have their very own little school in a building on the property of Casa Ana & Nadia. Their teacher is Doamna Sava, who is very patient, creative and works well with each of them one on one to help them overcome their learning challenges and be successful in school. These kids have all grown by leaps and bounds in this little school.


Please pray for all our kids this year as some start new things and others need help as they struggle to overcome learning differences and just being behind due to past circumstances. Pray that they will know in a real way that God is with them. Pray for the teachers, tutors and counselors who work with them to have wisdom and patience as they guide them along. Pray with us that this will be the best school year ever for each of them. Thanks!
