Attending the 3ed term ELS Graduation

This term has come to an end and yesterday Mariska and I  had the privilege to attend our English Language School (ELS) graduation for the third term. With students from Angola , Korea, Chile and Brazil it was a fun affair with much bubbling and talking as we sat down for a lovely breakfast. The school had about 40 plus students divided between four levels and  is very popular for those wanting to learn English . Many of the students are on their way to the mission field and learning English is the next step they need to take to reach their goal.  Certificates were handed out and good buys where said to those finishing their fourth and final level. Students had the opportunity to introduce fellow students and teachers , all in English, of course and it was great to see them step out and speak in public in their newly acquired language. I commended them for their courage and encouraged them to go on and accomplish everything that God has called them to do.  Soon the new term will start and the new intake of students will start to arrive.
