Then we had a visit from another team. The Groves Distance Education Team came to Mulpani block A grades 1 and 2 and Badi Hostel 5. My hat is off to the teachers who brought these fine young folk. 15 years old to 18. Young, energetic, full of life. What impressed me however was the disciplined way in which they conducted themselves. Teachers Kevin, VJ, Merle, Marliyn, Sarah and leader Karen worked with the young people and produced a polished program that fitted in well with the Nepali teachers desire to fulfil an academic program.
There were teaching segments on the properties of water tied in with Christ's ability to wash us clean; science experiments that had the Mulpani students eyes rivetted on the bunsen burner and the equipment; a craft section for making a bird; English in the teaching of simple songs; a moral story which lead to the teaching of a memory verse. All done with student participation and all done with the aplomb of teachers. They spoke slowly and clearly, which takes some discipline when you are a tad nervous. Then when it was time to mingle and talk to the Mulpani students they were very focussed on sharing the Mulpani students thoughts and not talking about themselves unless asked specifically.
Yes, I was impressed. They have certainly set a precedent for other teams. Well done Groves.
For devotions the other day Robby shared this, "We are either goers,senders or disobedient." This is from John Piper. Well we goers certainly thank all you senders who supported us in so many ways but especially in your prayers. Couldn't have done this without you. Thanks.
