There were lots of happenings this past week and each week
seems to go by faster than the previous ones.
We had some rain again, not a lot but enough to keep the crops looking
good. Many times here the month of
February is dry, and sometimes that period of dryness is long enough to kill
the corn and that’s the end of that crop.
However this year we've had some nice rain this month and the corn
really looks nice. People have a lot of
hope that there will be abundant food when harvest time comes around, and if
the rain continues into March, it looks like that will be the case. What a blessing that is.
We have been eating from my “garden” these days. This garden consists of three cement sacks
half filled with soil, and four Chinese Cabbage plants in each sack. Their color is beautiful and the fresh taste
is wonderful. I’m proud enough to attach
a photo!
Yesterday at school we had a meeting of parents, an annual
event which brings parents to hear about the progress of the school, problems that may have arisen, gives them a
chance to air their concerns, and they also have an opportunity to visit their
daughters. The meeting was good, and
everyone was very happy with the news which had just been released the previous
evening. The results of the national
Form IV examinations came out and our school performed very well. Every student passed, and more than half
achieved Division I and II, the highest marks possible. Good results like these will give the students
a wide choice in careers and further studies so I’m sure they are
thrilled. The parents of the current
students certainly are, and have the same kind of hopes for their
daughters. May all the dreams of these
girls be fulfilled, and all of their hard work and the sacrifice of their
parents be fruitful.
