Valentine's Day was quite the event last Friday at MICS.
The teachers attended their first ever Valentine celebration.
It was also the first party held in the new MICS house.
Everyone enjoyed the games, food, special Valentine's, and fun.
Love and Blessings to all!
MICS science classes for grades 3,4,and 5 went on a fossil hunt last week.
Mr. Hammes a Flying Mission volunteer who is teaching grade 5 and science for the three classes took the students on an interesting dig.
The students are really enjoying the fun..... and learning much!!

Amy Hess will be volunteering at MICS for the next month. She is a Home Economics teacher in the US. She came to Macha with her husband while he is doing a rotation as a medical student. She got a leave of absence from her school to so she could teach at MICS while she is here.
We are keeping Amy very busy as she is also teaching reading and English to the third graders. She has taken over the weekly library classes which gives me a bit of break. It is fun to have someone else come and share their creative ideas with the children.
We are thankful for her time here. The children are excited and love her and all she does for them.
THANKS AMY!

MICS begins school year with royal visitors

We are back in Zambia and the 2009 school year for MICS is off to a great start.
On Friday the school had an official visit by the Ambassador of the Netherlands and the Zambian Chief of Chikanta a village close to Macha. The students welcomed them with a very special grogram. They sang songs, recited Bible verses, and presented a traditional Tonga welcome as well as the MICS traditional welcome song and greeting. Our guests visited the classrooms and toured the new MICS house while they were here.
It was an exciting day for all of us. We felt honoured and privileged to have such special guests!
As you may remember last year Orphan's Promise helped MICS complete the MICS Boarding House. While we were in the US we were blessed to spend some time in Virginia. While we were there we met the staff from "Living the Life", the program that sponsors Orphan's promise. We did a short taping at CBN while there and we just saw in the schedule that our segment will air on Feb 3rd.
The program is Living the Life. It is on the family channel and seemed to be just before 700 Club when it is on the Family Channel. You will have to check your area's schedule.
We are excited to have a clip of Macha for all to see and thought maybe you would like to find it in your TV guide. We are hoping to get a copy of the program. It looks like Tim Conway will be on that day too. He was there with us the day we were there for the taping.
School began on Tuesday and all is going well. The MICS house is coming along....we have water in the kitchen....a new tub with water in the bathroom and even an inside toilet that flushes.....ahhhh the good life(-: The electricians are wiring the house and school and a new bigger generator just arrived. So soon we will have power for a few hours a day!!!
Thanks for all your prayers!
