Christmas: A Suddenly Silent Campus

Jump to Comments

Advent Rainbow over SEKUCoMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to all around the world! 

Here at SEKUCo we have just finished mid terms and the campus has emptied out. Students have gone home to their families and will return in 2008.  

I have arrived on Zanzibar. On my way from Magamba I stopped in Dar for a couple of days of work and a Christmas Eve service with the ex-patriot community. Now I get some rest and relaxation on the Indian Ocean.  

It is my first Christmas holiday in high heat and a swim suit. I can imagine that some of you are shoveling snow. So, I won’t talk about beginning a New Year swimming in the Indian Ocean.  

I am wishing you all peace and love in this wonderful Christmas season and for New Year 2008! 

Amani,
Amanda

You are not only providing help to your students, but you are having some great experiences. Keep up the good work and continue to keep us informed. With much love, “Goggie” and Grandma Grant

  • Dear Amanda,
    Happy New Year!
    St John’s and Feast of Justice send greetings and love. Can’t begin to tell you how much I miss you and how proud I am of you. The 3rd Tuesday Guests miss you too.
    We begin a Winter Reading Buddies Program in mid-January and just received a donation of computers. God is good!
    My new knees are wonderful, I can ride a bike again. Hope to see you in June.
    Peace and love, Dottie

  • Amanda-
    Happy New Year! It was good to see you message on my blog, so I thought I would return the favor. I let Maggie know that the message I sent with her made it into your hands. Please feel free to keep in touch. I am certain our paths will cross someday.

    Amanda,

    Hi sweetie! I have had a heck of a time getting onto this blog to write comments but I do read them faithfully, I hang on your words, and am so proud of you and the work you are doing. Enjoy each moment! They are life changing, no?

    I am sure you are thrilled that your parents will arrive soon and that you will all have a wonderful adventure together. Lots of Love,
    Marisa P. and the boys.
