I spoke with Thandie today. She gave me the following update:
School:
This week we have 6 children in standard 8 (8th grade) that are taking the National Exam to enter Form 1 (High School). This exam is not only important for the continuation of the education for these six children, it also is used by the Government to evaluate how well the Good Samaritan School is doing as far as teaching the children. We don't want to loose the opportunity to have control over our own school. Please pray for these children as they continue their exams. They take the exams at a site off campus with children from all over the country. There armed police officers sitting next the children to make sure there is no cheating. How nerve racking! Today they are taking Chichewa and Mathematics portion of the exam. Tomorrow they will be taking Primary Science. The children completing the exams are Mercia, Jennifer, Sampson, Peter Frank, Tisungane, and Elson.
Ida:
Ida had a tooth removed this week. I spoke with her on the phone today. What a blessing she is. I just have to praise the Lord for this sweet girl. I am so thankful she is having a good week. I am trying to get the money together to pay for the grave stone for her sister Ida. It is time now to have it made.
Garden:
Thandie is so thrilled with the progress of the garden. It is becoming more and more important that Good Samaritan grow crops that could be used daily for food. Our hope is to be self-sufficient from the land. The Lord has been blessing this vision. The green vegetables are doing very well. They are currently growing turnips, cabbage and tomatoes. The children have a 3 day holiday coming from school. They will be using the opportunity to prepare the land that will be used to plant corn with the rains come. Please continue to be in prayer for our garden, that it will flourish and provide food for our children and staff.

September 4, 2007 Good Samaritan became guardians of a little peanut that would grow to become Savannah-Hope. Click here to read the post from that day. Click here to read details from that day, that I wrote reflecting back four months later.
