Week Three Wrap-up

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to write a little something about week three. We are definitely settling into the school routine
at this point. The first progress report has been issued and Julia is doing extremely well!

Janine has begun to master the home economics classroom including understanding how to procure the
items she needs for her recipes. The students enjoy making and eating every day!

The driving thing is coming along for Steve. It looks like next week he will be set out solo on the weekly trips to Nairobi. Janine is stilled worried, but God is definitely in control of that situation!

Last weekend was another typically busy weekend on campus. With so many boarding students, you need to be able to keep them busy on weekends as well. Saturday was Titchie field day, a kind of fair day for the elementary age students. It was a beautiful day and everyone had fun. Here are a couple of pictures from the
event.



There were donut eating contests, wheel-barrel races, principals dressed as clowns and much much more!

After field day had ended, it was off to Senior Store for lunch. Senior store is a outdoor cafe run by the
senior class as a way to raise funds for their senior safari trip. almost the entire campus eats lunch to 
help the senior's cause. One of Steve's co-workers brought his family to field day and we all enjoyed
lunch together.

Next up: Our first dorm birthday party! One of our girls turned 13. So we had her for dinner with two of her friends and then all the eighth grade girls for cake and ice cream.

Sunday was a quieter day with church in the morning, lunch at the cafeteria, and then some yard work with the now famous (and correctly configured) home made axe! Sunday night Steve was able to stream the Eagles/Ravens game! It wasn't the greatest reception but he was able to watch the game! 

Anyway, that wraps up week three here at RVA. Stay tuned to see what happens next!
