Blind school

The blind school and the deaf school are private schools in Douala that each have a special class.  In this school, it's a small class for blind students.  Lere and his team do a wonderful job with these kids.  Lere asks for volunteers to lead a song.  They come up one at a time, and Lere accompanies them on his guitar.  Notice in the picture that there is a child looking in the classroom from outside.  Sometimes there is a crowd outside the window!

The story was about God leading the Israelites with the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire.  These kids are good listeners.  Lere introduces us with our name and the country we are from.  And the kids will remember and be able to tell him our country when we come back.  We don't make a craft, but give them one already made to help them remember and tell the story.  We help them feel the craft.  I wish my French was better, but they seemed to understand.

Lere, Maurice and Thomas come every week to this class and bring volunteers from the ship with them.  They  know this small class very well!
