We are thankful to God for a new year. With it we have received a new five-year approval for LAMB; hospital, development work, rehab, training centre and school.
We pray that we will be able to honour God with the permission and with the resources we have been given to do the work here.
At the school Ken Ford-Powell is back from England and Bani Sharmma is away on maternity leave. We give thanks for both Ken's presence and Aunti Bani's baby girl. It doesn't quite work to substitute a head of first school with an O Level teacher, but with some reshuffling of everybody here we are getting on with a new semester.
We have had farewells for three students who transferred out at the beginning of school year in government schools but have not taken in new students to fill the places. Please pray for the children who are now learning to learn in a very different system.
Thank you for your faithfulness in 2011. Please pray for us this year too.
We hope to get status as a registered school with the government of Bangladesh. The benefits include school books for the children, access to national exams and a lot of administrative work in reporting to the government. Pray with us that the children will be helped as they transition into other schools after LAMB because of this work.
Please also pray for on-going teacher development. We have four teachers who are still new, and all of us benefit from help in teaching well.
Pray for wisdom as we work with families on planning and delivering the best possible education for their children.
Pray that all the children who come through the school will leave with the knowledge that God loves them.
We are also praying for work permits and visas for all foreign staff.
