God, Who is never late and seldom early ...

Today would be January 31st, which is our last day of managing the Stepping Stones preschool. So, Susie did some cooking and I did some shopping and we had a great little break-up party for our kids and staff.

Yesterday we met with a Filipino pastor who had been hovering for a couple of weeks, interested in the school. Today it was all go - a letter drafted telling parents that Stepping Stones lives on; a new manager (Marina) who is a trained teacher and has run a Montesorri school - and our three Khmyer staff all keep their positions.

Communicating with parents - there is class tomorrow!

It has all been something of a whirl-wind, and no doubt it will involve us taking some time to help in the change-over ... but we are thrilled. Our staff are gold and we are just so pleased for them as well as for the future of this little pre-school.

First things first tho' - now that our six weeks looking after Sozo Childrens Home is also finished, we have a date with Club Evergreen this Friday/Saturday.
