Pikinini lo skul lo Kamkumung na 2 mile

This collection of photos are ones I took at the school - both at Living Water Christian School (which is an add on to the church in Kamkumung) and the school at Meri Seif Ples, 2 Mile, which is part of Lae City Mission. I had the privilege of visiting both school and being involved with both the children and the teachers in each place. Oh how special it is to see children being taught in the Lord! I had a blast and these photos will tell the story I am sure.

Kids at LWCS listening to Bible Story. John Morris (the one is the maroon and yellow shirt) had more spunk and attitude than any child I have ever met. And that's saying something!

LWCS - attentive to the story.

  

Oh, how I love their hair. In tok pisin it is called gras :)

I love seeing little kiddies working. 

Such gorgeous smiles :) This is John Phillip. 

Kiaro.

John Morris - looking so innocent! Just you wait :)

Yohanis - the coolest little guy. Such a top kid!

Love it! Most kids don't wear shoes, but this guy is wearing his Sunday best, every day of the week :)

Mama Jen and some of her students - who work in one part of the church. 

Monica and her students - doing English - working in another part of the church. 

Typical kids - only a few are actually paying attention......!

Hard at work on phonics.

Such great kids!

Some posters to brighten the walls. 

Phonics lesson.

Mama Grace - teaching her students in the library. 

Who needs a desk, hey?!

Timson, the youngest child in the school. In the classrooms it is shoes off for everyone. 

Laying down to work is so normal. They concentrate well too!

Full focus. 

This little fella was an ace at maths. 

I was marking the completed work - these two nailed it and were SUPER thrilled!

Sharing pencils altogether.

Here are students at the Meri Seif Ples School at 2 mile. Bit taken aback by the camera. 

A song, preparing for the end of year celebration.

The little fella in the green and yellow just desperately wanted a photo. It is rare for someone in PNG to smile with their teeth. 

Cute, hey :)

This next lot of photos were taken when the children warmed up to me and realised that their image was actually captured on my camera. They sure played up for camera then!!!

Back at LWCS. This is Kiaro, helping with the gardening during his recess break. A pity it's blurry. 

And now the LWCS kids are playing up for the camera :) Fun times for all!

Did I mention I love their hair?!!!

Hard at work in maths. 

and English

Some more maths. Such happy little kiddies :)

More recess gardening. So cute!

As you can see, I had a great time. It's an experience I'm very thankful for.
