Updates from Lifesong Zambia

We are blessed to give you an update from Lifesong Zambia from Leslie Ringger,

Our new school year began with 2 new grades and 4 new teachers.  We are also very excited to introduce a new curriculum that emphasizes Biblical teaching.

The rainy season is in full swing bringing with it a wave of malaria to our students and staff at Lifesong School.  What a blessing to be able to provide free medical care to all at our school.

~

We currently have 4 boys living with a foster family on campus.  Because of this program they have been taken out of homes of abuse/neglect and are given a chance to learn what a healthy family looks and feels like.

~

In the next few weeks we will be introducing our Caregiver Empowerment Program where our students’ caretakers will have the opportunity to learn skills such as:

- Vaseline making

- Dying fabrics

- Clay working

~
 

Last term ended with a special Christmas performance.  Over 120 parents and caretakers showedup for the event to give their children support. The event was a hit with a christmas play, songs, and a little dancing just for fun.
