Sophie going to school. I took this picture specially for you, godma n godpa, notice the bag and hat.

Behind her is the daycare she goes to every morning.

As some of you know, the childcare teachers in her school are all volunteers and they are different every school term (a term being 3 months, either during the DTS or FMS). When there is no DTS/FMS running, there’ll be no daycare.

For this DTS, Sophie has 5 daycare teachers – Tina (our school leader’s wife), Wan Lin (our friend from Singapore), Sunnie (from Korea), Misun (from Korea) and Lydia (from Sweden). Tina and Wan Lin are the English speaking ones and are more experienced while the rest struggle a bit more with the language. Halfway through the school, Wan Lin and Sunnie are leaving to do their DTS and then 2 other Canadian girls are coming to replace them.

It can be a little disruptive but thank God the kids adjusted pretty well. In fact, there was only one child who cried in the beginning when he was left at childcare. The rest of the kids did really well. Sophie cried on one of the days because the other kid cried but other than that, she’s pretty well adjusted too.

Tina is really good with the kids and the kids really love her. They have been learning a lot of new songs and Sophie’s singing all sorts of songs. Wan Lin’s been a great help at the daycare and she really helped to make really nice pictures and arty things with the kids.

It’s been such a blessing to have Sophie at the daycare and see her loving it.
