Samaritan Kaliyanikanda Primary School

Hi, everyone!  I just wanted to check in and tell you how much fun I've been having lately.  For one thing, I've discovered swinging.

More importantly, though, last weekend Mom and I got to visit a village about four hours north of Dhaka right next to the Indian border.  We went because this good-looking family

including the Bangla language teacher for Dad's school wanted to share a part of their hearts with us.  They have worked hard over the past months to get a school that was closed for many years up and running in the husband's home village.  While the school was closed, many of the kids in the area just didn't get to go to school at all.  Now that they've overseen the replacing of part of the roof and renovation of the bathrooms, and taken care of providing books and teachers, the school is up and running again.  

Don't they look happy for the opportunity to learn to read, write and add in Bangla, Garo and English, as well as to learn about Jesus love for them?  Right now it's open to kindergardeners through third graders six days a week

I hope to go and walk through the rice fields and sing Bangla songs with them again someday.  Until then, will you keep the kids from Samaritan Kaliyanikanda Primary School in your prayers?  They're hoping to raise enough funds to keep adding grades each year so they have every chance at success in life.
