This week has been full of awesome conversations with high schoolers, and my relationships with them all have sky rocketed to a point where now I am accepted and they talk to me whenever they see me walking over to the school.
I have this 8th grade class that I teach ( also known as form 1) the ages in the class range from 13-18 years old. I know crazy!!!! Well there is a definite reason why that is and it has to do with the schools in Swaziland and the fact that they have to pay school fees.
There are about 7 kids in the form 1 class and they are my favorite
class of all, it hurts to know that children in Swaziland can’t go to
school unless they pay their fees, some of which never do and therefore
never attend school.
I bring this topic up because I happened to ask Lorrence why he is 18 years old and only in form 1 and he told me that he had to stay home for 3 years because his parents couldn’t afford the school fees and if fact he is getting ask to not come back to school on Monday unless he has to money to pay school fees. I want you all to pray for him and that his situation is in the LORDS hands. If any of you would like to help with the school fees you can contact me via email. the cost is R2,100= about 300 US dollars
Lorrence is the one on the right hand side
