conference over
it has proven to be more difficult than i anticipated for accessing this blog. it seems like the days and nights are booked solid with activities, construction, conference and ministry.
the conference came to its conclusion today. we had a great group of over 100 teachers representing 40 + pre-12 schools in Zambia. on the third day i gave a presentation on technology more specifically the internet. it went quite well. only about 20 percent had used the internet before the lesson, but they understood the efficient and research capabilities. the country has recently invested in a fiber optic backbone to maintain a high speed connection to some of the neighboring countries. this is a good start to turning around the economy through Information technology.
we held a graduation ceremony today for the teachers and one of the local schools had their children perform plays about being orphans. they were really good- so good that it made us get emotional. many of the team members have been battling sickness. praise God that I have been able to avoid it up until this point.
we will return to the sponsored orphanage and continue our construction efforts tomorrow. we hope to finish off the tile work for the home and have the roofing complete so that the next team that arrives next week will be able to work on plaster and painting.
all for now. i am pooped.
