We are sorry that we have not had any posts on the blog since the end of last week but since we have left Richards Bay we have not had any Internet connection until today.
In the first week within minutes of learning that there were no students at out first school we received a phone call from someone who said she was running a private school and she heard we were in town and she asked us to come and do a Christian program with seventy students.
One of the other teams found no students at their school and they engaged some kids strolling around. Before long they had a soccer game going and they had the attention of about sixty five kids. While the kids were playing soccer the team leaders contacted the principal to see if they could get a class opened up. She was very supportive and obliged by coming and opening a classroom for us. After they had been playing soccer for a while Mark B. told them he had something to teach them and lead them into the class room. The kids came back for the next two days and by the third day there were still about forty five to fifty students.
Colby Zack and Phoebe were confronted with the horrendous task of trying to get a class of more than two hundred students from two schools through the entire program in one day. Part of our training is to drum into the team that things rarely go the way we plan and to be flexible when the unexpected occurs. This team was ready and up to the challenge and got the job done.
