(from Heather)
This coming week, a team of nine engineers, architects and surveyors through EMI(Engineering Ministries International) is traveling to Kibuye Hospital inBurundi to carefully evaluate the current facilities (buildings,water, electricity, land). In a fewmonths, when this information is processed, another similar team can use this information on another trip to Kibuye to develop a comprehensive long-term (10-20year) plan for how the hospital can develop into a 300-bed teachinginstitution. This is a big step ofplanning for the future of the hospital.
Evidently our children have caught the excitement fordrawing up plans for Burundi. Anna,Elise, and Abi recently took on the task of designing the schoolhouse for AuntSarah’s McCropder kid school. Here isthe schoolhouse design committee meeting:
Elise (wearing an “I ♥ USA” t-shirt while sitting herein France drawing plans for Burundi) created plans for a dream playground.
Anna mapped out a multi-room schoolhouse, thehighlights of which include a reading corners for everyone, a rest time area, atime out corner, a large number of bookshelves, and a snack shelf.
A few days after this looking ahead to Burundi, the kidsfound themselves looking around here in the Alps. On Thursday our school took a field trip tothe nearby mountains to experience an important aspect of local culture: skiing.
Others went sledding (Cropseys in the foreground, Maggie andRachel in the middle of the picture)
or snowshoeing.
All enjoyed the opportunity to look around at the beauty of creation.
He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and revealshis thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high placesof the earth--the Lord God Almighty is his name. Amos 4:13
For the Lord is the great God, the great King above allgods. In his hand are the depths of theearth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. Psalm 95:3-4
