Closing the pre-school in Lupalilo

The school year ends for the public school on the 29th of November.  The hard decision was made to close out the preschool class that has been being operated by Eden Valley Foster Care Mission for the last 10 years.  The teachers and head teacher at Lupalilo Primary School are very sad to see this end, but they are very thankful for the service that has been provided to children, the community and the school.  The teachers mentioned that the children who attended the classes provided by EVFCM (Eden Valley Foster Care Mission) have prepared the children well for entering Kindergarten classes.  The head teacher asked if they could continue to use the many teaching aids from the class and also the furniture.  Janet agreed happily if they would make sure that they would stay at the school and be used for the benefit of the children.  They agreed and were so happy to get such nice things to help them with teaching the children.
There was a bit of serious concern at first because the head teacher thought that Janet was saying she was closing both that class and the school in Mago.  He asked about the orphans.  What will they do for help.  Janet quieted his fears and said that we will continue to have the school in Mago and will continue to help the orphans just as we had the previous week.
