Song

My students wanted to share this song with Ms. Nelson's music class.

Song Title: Um Dia
Sê forte
Pequeno Moçambique
Moçambicanos
Ajudem o pais a crescer
Todos juntos
Mudaremos nossa situação
E um dia
Alcançaremos nossos objectivos.

English Translation of the Song: One Day
Strong, little Mozambique. Mozambicans help the country to grow. All together we change our situation and one day we will achieve our objectives.

New Beginnings

The students are here and classes began 2 weeks ago. We have almost twice as many students in the English course this year and are excited to get to know them all. Also, the school has hired a worker to be the librarian in the newly opened English library. Yay for access to resources!
Jesse’s planning logistics for the JOMA conference and I’m doing logistics and finance for the REDES conference in April. Jesse found beautiful conference sites at the beach and the managers there are excited to be supporting the development of Mozambican youth. Jesse is in his element working like a camp director, and for me it’s very motivating to know how much the girls are going love it. We’re feeling quite busy but in happy ways!
