A Village Called Ereri

I went out this morning to a village called Ereri. I have never been so far out in the middle of nowhere. =) We got to the school and found some very excited children. With only four teachers and eight grades, each teacher is responsible for two grades. Most of the classes were made up of children of all ages. The parents of these children have never been educated and the school had to beg them to send their children. When the family’s herds have no more to eat they pack up the family and move, so much for going to school. I am grateful that this Bible Baptist Church started a school out there. At least the children are getting some education.

I really enjoyed being with the children. They were very well behaved! I greeted them, told them my name, and some about myself. I taught them a song and then taught the Bible lesson. It was all done in Swahili!!!! =) The children heard the Gospel in their own language!

I had a great day! I’m now home and very exhausted!
