About Me

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!

A rough but good start

The term is now well underway and it almost feels as though we didn’t have a holiday! But it is great to be back into routine and to welcome lots of lovely new students!

Jona’s timetable has increased a bit but he is really enjoying teaching and is continually amazed by how quiet the students are in lessons and that they actually study!! He kicked off the term with an assembly on the first day and is also enjoying the added responsibility of being form tutor to the grade 9’s.

Unfortunately I have spent most of the first week in bed L It started with a bit of a cough and then turned into a chest infection. I am so thankful that we have good access to medicine etc and the nurse was able to give me a course of antibiotics. Was quite a tough week, feeling pants especially as I was ill a lot last term too but already feeling tones better now however I fear Jona is coming down with the same!
Fortunately I was well enough to do some team building games in the dorm last Monday night when all of the girls arrived which was great J It got them talking and interacting. 


Newspaper outfits!!

We have been booking our flights for England this week and although really enjoying it here we’re very excited to return and see friends and family!
It would be great when we return to the UK to package up some goods to be sent back on the container. If anyone has old (complete) board games, craft materials, good quality teenage clothes, unused perfume/bath sets, play station 2 games, Unwanted DVD’s (PG, 12, or undodgy 15’s)  etc then please let us know and we can try and collect it in April.
Thanks :-)

  1. I'm glad Mr.Rass has finally got a class that is quiet :P Everyone still misses him as our tutor though :( And us year 11's want him to come back to England for prom but I doubt that's possible?:( He still needs to send me a picture on Facebook of a Zebra :D
