St Andrew's School - new teachers

Message

Mission partner Linn Tedman, at St Andrew's School Asuncion, writes at the start of the new school year: "We are all wondering what God has in his plans for us this year and whether we are fitting into those plans. Each year it becomes more difficult to find teachers who are willing to come from the UK to teach with us. These days, jobs and pensions in the UK seem to hold people back. However, this year there is a new initiative. We are taking on two ex-pupils, to teach in the Primary department. Although they are not native speakers of English, they are both proficient in English. They have helped in the school before but have not actually taught. This will be a tough year for both of them, particularly for Vicki De Gasperi as she gets to grips with teaching English to both second and fourth grade. Ali Spinzi, married with a small son, will be teaching some children with special needs. See photos above left. They can be very challenging and a lot of patience will be needed. Please keep these two young ladies in your prayers."
