I got my visa!

I got my visa today!! That was a big learning curve, and it feels good to have it past (for now).

I spoke with Ahtapa today, and here's a bit of the news:
  • He has me scheduled to teach once a week at the public school.
  • They planted 200 banana trees this week, and the Lord provided a good rain.
  • They have the bamboo to build another staff hut, and he's looking forward to using my help and tools.
  • He looks forward to our coming and relieving him to come back to the states for a visit.
  • They have an interview next week to for more children to come.
  • He can get me a 40% discount on my kids' school curriculum (originally $900).

What curriculum are you using for your kids? I think we're about to place an order with Sonlight.

ACE-School of Tomorrow. It's what the Asian gospel Outreach is using. The kids write their answers on a separate sheet of paper and the workbooks (paces) are reused over and over. That's another perk for Ahtapa. My kids are more advanced in the paces than most of his students, so our coming is increasing his curriculum library. We're having it shipped here in the states and taking it with us to save shipping cost.
