The above picture are the 20 children who currently attend Secondary School off campus. We recently had six children from Standard 8 (8th grade) compete their end of their year exams. If they all pass, we will have 26 children starting Secondary School in January 2009. The school year in Malawi follows the Calendar year (begins in January and ends in September). This is exciting news, but also comes with a mighty price tag and a HUGE prayer request. The cost is $180 per child per term (3 terms a year). This cost covers transport, school fees and food allowance. On Wednesday 9/24/08 the children were told that at this point there are no funds available to send them to school. The children held their heads down, but Thandie told them they needed to take their burden to the Lord. Please join these precious children in prayer.
