Ready for school!

The start of a new school year brings different emotions: joy, excitement, fear and stress....
For many children there is a sense of excitement and joy. Especially for those who start in the first class, they are often excited to get started (after about 2 weeks this feeling is gone normally...) But many of the smaller children are also a bit afraid because everything is new. But on the other hand to start the year with a new schoolbag, new school supplies and to enter finally the school and start a new phase in life, is something many waited impatiently for that day to come...

But.....for many poor families we know here in the different villages the start of a new school year brings stress for the parents (at least to those who try to take care of their children in the best way), the problem how they will pay for all the supplies needed, is a burden. The children that do not have the right supplies often are not listened at and are not allowed to participate in the lessons. They just will end up in the back of the class and have to sit still until the lessons are finished. So it is very important to have a schoolbag filled with notebooks etc to be able to have a good start at school. A big pressure for the parent to prepare their children and make sure it has the best start possible....

The local church in Micleuseni was able to bless around 70 poor children with school supplies in the villages Huzum, Micleuseni and Dolna. We praise God for those who made it possible to reach out to these children. Let's pray that God will give the children and teachers wisdom to have a good and fruitful school year!

The school supplies are ready to get in the school bags 

With help from Dana and Irina all the school bags for the children in Huzum got filled

The children are invited in the church to receive their bag

Every child signs the official papers in order to receive supplies

After receiving a bag, you have to show the others what is inside your bag

Ready for school!
