Today was an exciting day, my
first day at Colegio San Andres! Colegio San Andres is an Anglo-Peruvian school which was originally set up by a Scottish missionary nearly a hundred years ago. The school still has a Scottish headmaster and still follows its founding principles. The school seeks to provide an education for Lima's children which is based upon Bible teaching and the christian faith. Most of the staff are Christians. Most of the children are from catholic backgrounds.
Today, I met lots of lovely people whose names I'll never be able to remember. Everyone is
really friendly, I think I'm going to like it here. The children
aren't here yet except the new ones starting this year who have to
complete a week of extra classes and sit exams to prove their levels.
I've been helping with this "nivelacion".
This afternoon was full of
meetings: introducing new staff, timetables, school rules etc. I
didn't follow everything and its been really hot again so I'm now a little bit fed
up!
Also Megan left for Moyobamba today
which is a little sad since I'd got used to having her around and
doing things together. I'm also a little bit jealous since apparently its "a paradise" and much smaller than noisy and chaotic Lima. Oh well, as the our heavenly Father says: "I know the plans I have for
you" although at times I find it difficult to let go and let God work even though I know I have so little control over what's happening here.
