Dance, Teaching, Kids, Computers
October 3 was a day of going separate ways and reunion.
First thing in the morning we joined the whole Institute for a devotional service. Then we had a short, and productive meeting. Then breakfast.
And then the Travelers went to separate tasks.
Pastor Glenn taught a two-hour class on preaching. He said the students were sharp, engaged and extremely ready to learn.
Sherry and Karen went back to the Kindergarten in Ruruma. They saw the children at the end of their class day, and presented them and their teacher with gifts. Pencils for the kids. Pencil sharpeners and one of the bags which were handmade at Mount Olive. The kids loved the gifts, the attention, and certainly the ladies who gave them.
Mark and I, meanwhile, worked in the computer classroom, setting up the wireless router we had bought. We were successful in getting all the faculty and staff laptops connected to Wifi, and the staff members were all delighted.
We were also able to connect three of the eight (very, very old) desktop computers to the internet with cables to the modem, and we set up three other laptops which had bad batteries so that they could be used to replace three of the older systems, if the staff want to do that.
Then, in the afternoon, we had a great treat. The students performed several dances for us. Most of the students come either from the Kiomboi area or the Kijota area, so they had divided themselves into two groups and danced in their traditional styles. I took videos of them all. Perhaps when we are back in the States I can post them for all to see.
Finally, we went for an hour walk with Pastor Hilinti, through the beautiful countryside.
And you know what? There was even more to this day than I was able to describe here. What an amazing day!
