There was a small ceremony (every school closes the year with a ceremony in Burkina), prizes for the best in the class, and a meal for all the students. Sarah had planned a balloon game for the kids and they had a blast with it. Generally, the kids seemed excited school was out for the year.
The courtyard is quieter now that school is out: there are no morning soccer matches, games of mancalla or hopscotch in the field, or crowds of giggling, chattering, children hanging around the flagpole. This is neither bad nor good, as it is how it should be; it is simply a significant change.
Below is a picture of the students and staff receiving new soccer balls for each of next year’s classes. This includes the two classes that will be at our new school!
Please pray for...
...the students as they head for the summer; visiting family in the village, working in the fields and spending time within Yako.
...the upcoming summer school (as preparation for the next year’s course work) that will be offered at our school.
...the new school (construction is almost complete) and the students that will attend this fall.
