After-words

Well, again I apologise for being silent for so long. since I last wrote there have been many changes and there are more to come. We celebrated the end of the school term by attending various concerts, assemblies and Sport's Day and we wish all our ex-year 6s all the best as they prepare to move on to Secondary School in September.
We travelled (with some of our young people) to Snowdonia for our annual holiday in Rydd Ddu. everyone survived and had a good time, so - result! We also held a football tournament which turned out to be a very civilized and sportspersonly event.
I forget the result, but it was fairly close and very well played.
So now we have a short respite before all the fun starts again. We've said our 'goodbyes' to Heritiana, Mampionona and Rema (although we hope to see Rema again soon, when he returns to us after a holiday in Mizoram). It is enormously humbling to meet our overseas volunteers. They bravely offer their services for a whoe year and come thousands of miles to live with,and serve this community. They give us a great deal in terms of work hours, but more than that they give us a great deal in terms of sharing their lives and cultures with us. All of us here gain so much from their offerings and we are extremely lucky to have our lives enriched in this way.
We hope to hear news soon of new volunteers; 2(including Rema) from Mizoram and 2 from Madagascar.
