New Term!!

Back to school

Chris writes: well everything is in place now and tomorrow we start a new term and back in the schools. We have spent the summer (and a long hot one it was!) besides working on the language of course(!) preparing our literature, powerpoint, translating the website and now all is ready and we have the green light.
Things are happening here and doors are starting to open.

Appreciate your prayers but please don't stop!!

Be a blessing and be blessed...In Him

Time to rest..!!!

Time out in Krushe e Vogel.

Chris writes: just taking a few days out at the moment. Feels like it has been a long summer, our first full one in Kosova, very hot for us, waiting and preparing for the return of the children (trying to spend the time wisely in language learning!!), lots of literature produced for the schools and the website almost translated. In addition it was the month of Ramazan so have not seen some of my Muslim friends as they have been fasting. Also we have now moved house in preperation for the next family to leave for furlough very soon.

It has been a long hot summer and I am glad that September is here and autumn around the corner....it looks like it could be a busy one!!


.........interesting watching the situation in Libya unfold and the problems caused by the bombings with water shortages and power outages........Kosova of course was where Libya is today, 12 years ago in 1999...but power outages are, after 12 years still a regular part of life here....and now we have no water.....from around 8pm until.....after bedtime!!

Just a part of daily life for the people here in Kosova.......who get on with life largely without complaining or without anyone noticing..........

..............my concern is how much longer will the next generation stand for this......

be a blessing and be blessed!!
