Farewell

Please pray for Prodip as he pursues another career. Yesterday he told me he had received a better opportunity and wanted to leave LAMB. Today he submitted his resignation letter and left.

It seems that opportunities are small windows in time that close as suddenly as they open. We live on the look-out, ready to jump through to the hope of a better tomorrow.

Pray that Prodip will find what he is looking for.

The real world and cheap grace

I liked the blog particle board and cheap grace by Alan Kaiser, a shorttermer who has been at LAMB School for almost a year by now. I could comment on how well it addresses two of the issues that face people from the more affluent world who come to Bangladesh and are relevant for all but would rather you read it for yourself.

Christmas celebration 2008



Tomorrow is the last day of school. We are celebrating Christmas and the achievements of the past semester with various performances. The children have been working hard, thou I think some of the teachers have been working harder. The teachers have been working hard, but not all of them as hard as the one in the picture here. The one in the picture here isn't really a donkey, but we all feel pretty heavy laden as we keep up our teaching, correct exam papers and prepare for the celebration tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers.


As these photos indicate the show isn't entirely traditional - I don't know if you can spot the difference. It is fun watching the children grow in their ability to plan and perform in many ways. It is a challenge to ensure that the variety of cultural standards are adhered to, and that important norms aren't broken. Fortunately God has given us good gifts of quality staff at the school. As the year draws to an end at the school we give thanks for all God's gifts.
