Impact and Numbers

It is impossible to say what difference we are making in the world, but with the publication of a new brochure it is encouraging to see some evidence that it matters that we are here. You can find more information about us at the LAMB website.
If you wonder why you should consider working as a teacher at LAMB School, please consider the fact that the school is one aspect of ensuring that services are provided to more than five million people - that is as many as the whole population of Denmark.
Please pray about and consider the opportunity in various parts of the organization for development, medical, managerial and educational staff needs.
At the school our need is for teacher who can teach English across the range of grades from age 4 to 16 and in the upper grades teachers for History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

School Start 2014-15

It is a great blessing to be able to hear the rain on the roof and anticipate the answer of many people's prayers for water to the fields. It is equally good to be able to anticipate the arrival of old and new students back at LAMB School.
When we start today, Wednesday, 6 August there are 142 children enrolled in our school. While a few will be late, we are anticipating a very full house. Just as the rain comes with promise of a harvest in the future, so the preparations of both school staff and many others at LAMB bear promise of a harvest in our children.
It is God who gives growth, pray that he will bless our efforts.
We give out a newsletter (no photos) that can also be found here. We hope to make our monthly newsletter available for reference on the right.

Gifts of children

Praise God it is rainy season and time for a break, for vexing philosophical about the school and for marking the end of a school year with celebrations of achievements and victories in learning: there is much to rejoice about.

Our Guava Tree

I saw it the first time I came by in September, there was no doubting the trouble, our guava tree needed some serious treatment - entire branches were dead and would have to be cut off, it was an accident waiting to happen.
I delayed, not just because there is a season for cutting down trees but as much because it was THAT Tree: Our Guava Tree.
Every year the children have spent hours in that tree; to chat, to - literally - hang around or worse go out on a limb. That habit has scared me quite a bit, but the broken bones have not come from the guava tree.
And learned to share - the rule was one guava for every child every day; that applied to both children at the school and other visitors. It was both permission - even if the tree was ours strangers were allowed its fruit, and a limit - they, too, were limited to one a day.
The second aim was to teach to preserve our resource; we probably had limited success in doing this. The rule that nobody could pick one, discard it and take another was not easy for the children to follow when there was a better fruit higher up.
It is strange how, as it came down, we were reminded of the many blessings.
The ground is bare were it stood, and it will probably remain like that for a while, but when the rainy season comes around, we are likely to plant another guava tree in the same spot and pray that God will give it good growth - and good guavas.
