About Me

My photo
We have recently applied and been successful in getting jobs at 'Amano Christian' School in Chingola, Zambia. Since getting married we have been praying about the possibility of working abroad and we now feel the timing and opportunity is right. So what will we be doing? Jona is going to be teaching science and Kerry is going to be doing youth work amongst girls in the dorms. We will be leaving in September. We would love for you to keep up to date with what we're up to!

It's August Already!

Can't believe we are already in August, time is flying sooo fast!
Jona and I were looking at our diaries yesterday and realising how the time prior to us leaving is going to fly by! We have crammed our diaries filled with visiting lovely family and friends, so many people to see and so little time before we go!
I only have 3 days before I leave my job now too, it's slightly nerve racking not only saying goodbye to my amazing work colleagues and elderly tenants but also to a stable salary :-S eek. But Jona and I have felt sooo blessed by others and are sure that this step of faith is the right move. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting and donating financially but also thank you to those who have been so encouraging with their words. 
Yesterday we invested in a 'Kindle', (a technical device type thingy which you can downloads lots of books on to), we thought it'd be good to download lots of resouces and books on to for Zambia and resources for the school rather than filling our cases with heavy books. (So I can fit more Haribo into my case too! haha)

We have been communicating with the school and there is a strong possibility that I will be teaching PSHE and I was wandering if any youth workers reading this had any PSHE type resources that might be handy whilst out there?

Thanks x
