Wrap up for Teacher Trainining in Sendafa, Ethiopia

(7/17) We wrapped up 3 days of Teacher Training in Sendafa. I can not begin to tell you how I see God's hand in this whole orchestration of events.  I had coffee many months ago with a local Ethiopian who's NGO we worked with in Ethiopia last year.  He connected us to the Center for Child Development.  They did not comprehend what it was we did but were trusting their friends' referal.  He told me that the training they received filled a gap that they were missing.  They were trying to figure out how to nurture creativity in the kids but they themselves were not taught how.  The story telling and props were so complimentary to their own program.  The trainees also asked losts of questions on discipline, personalities, etc.  The fruit of this training is like that of a new level.  These trainees will go on to train others.
Let me tell you a bit about the facility.  Those that attended received diplomas from an 18 month program through the Center for Child Development.  The training is funded by Compassion.  May times these are children that were raised by the aid of Compassion and want to give back,  It is pretty incredible.
We are in the process of working with the center to form a partnership.  If you are considering a trip you might want to pray about Ethiopia next year=-)
