Beautiful is seeing people from several, sometimes
conflicting, backgrounds coming together to educate themselves in English, the
Bible, Computer, Sewing, and many other subjects. Beautiful is seeing my
students stay in class 10 extra minutes (I did not know what time class ended)
to learn as much as they possibly could to prepare for their upcoming test.
Beautiful is the excitement of the students when they are called to the front
of the class to participate or when they answer a question correctly. Beautiful
is seeing the inevitable presence of God at the Center that allows so many
incredible things to happen, despite limited space and resources, new students
coming every day, and other challenges.
I have been here only two days, but can see that The Center of Hope is truly a beautiful place. I am so glad
to be here for the next two months and am confident that, even though I am the
teacher, I will be learning far more from the students than they can learn from
me.
