Some international friends shared some books with us. Most kids only have their lesson books. They don't have any books just for fun. Once when I read a Dr Suess book with an adult friend, he said with joy and amazement, "Where did you get this?" We love books & are sharing them with our kids.
The current New Life School - they have been meeting in an old house. But next year the children will have a new school.

Everyday the kids receive lunch at the school. A couple of the moms cook a large pot of rice and beans for all the kids and teachers. The kids all bring their plate and spoon from home. They also bring water and sticks to help with the preparations of the meal.

A Big Thank You! to "Than Feed Just One", who provides the meals everyday.

I sat in on math class to learn my Creole numbers. 
The old school classrooms were divided with tarps. But in the new school there will be 6 classrooms, a lunch room storage area, cistern, and a large yard to play in.
The 2nd Grade Class - the largest class and it is all boys!
