At the absolute least, I am 80% funded! Thank you to all of my supporters thus far! Things are definitely coming together. And, we have an itinerary now (subject to change, of course).
It looks like we will mainly be tutoring kids in the basic subjects like math and English and so on, helping them with very basic computer skills (as in, how to turn a computer on and off and use a keyboard), and teaching them various games. Right now, we are planning our daily Bible stories. We've settled on to the story of Daniel and the Lions Den (Daniel 6) paired with the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We're still conjuring up craft and story telling ideas (any ideas out there are welcome!), but it should be pretty cool!
Part of story telling will be in Swahili. The younger children most likely won't know very much English. It is my understanding that younger children are taught in Swahili, and then taught English in what we would consider middle school, and in high school everything is taught in English. So, this "language barrier" will be very interesting. Please pray for this! Our knowledge and practice of Swahili is fairly limited, but we are working at it.
