Back in the swing of things - Term 2 at IMS and committees breed like rabbits


This term at IMS I teach 4 hours of Contextualisation Mondays, an occasional hour of Strategic Thinking (planning) Thursdays, and 45 min. geography Fridays. In between the preparation and marking there is computer and admin stuff for the staff and students there.

This week I had students, their children, and 3 staff for dinner (16 in all), followed by pictionary, a first for most but widely enjoyed by all. The menu was spaghetti bolognese, garlic and herb bread (national theme Italian this time), and a fruit salad/yoghurt/strawberry coulis parfait dessert with popcorn as starter. It's getting near the end of the best time of year for fruit and veg and we're profiting.

Add to my IMS schedule 2 committees for IBEO (evening Bible school): the IBEO committee planning a new intake with new members, and the Graduation committee for the ceremony 17 April....

And 2 Fulani Bible School committes (FBS and Curriculum)...

and now the SIM Burkina Area Council where I'm now a "Member-at-large", voted in by other missionaries.
