I was just looking at the statistics for our blog and the
number of viewings have shot up in the past few months. Not sure why! But
Welcome to our blog if you are a new reader. And thank you for sticking with us
and showing an interest in our work and lives if you've been around for a
while!
So we are nearly coming to the end of our summer holidays. We have our holidays in July and start back in August just as everyone in
As we’ve already written about we have had a whole lot of new staff arrive this summer. So it’s been a busy few months. Before they arrived we were involved in flat hunting, trying to find suitable places for them to live and then lots of emails about what they need and don't need to bring.
Then finally they arrived. So the past month has been a lot of shopping trips, showing people where to buy their groceries, where to buy household things and also some more fun trips such as where are nice places to take your kids - swimming, the zoo, cafes with gardens and playrooms. There is one family who have just been here a week now that have got a "new" house that hasn't been rented before so they have to buy everything! (The other families have moved into flats which were previously rented by expats so have inherited a lot of things). So imagine what you would need to buy moving into a house for the first time when you have virtually nothing. It's like starting at university again - except now you are a family of 4! Pots and Pans, plates, cutlery, hoover, fridge, fans, cot, mop and bucket, iron, etc etc etc... and all in a new country where you don't know how anything works.
KISC starts back tomorrow for the staff and then the
students are back (or starting for the first time) on Tuesday next week. KISC
celebrates its 25th Anniversary next weekend. So we have three days of
activities going on which include a talent show, a family fun day and services of thanksgiving and prayer for the future. A busy but pretty great start to the year! If you’re
interested in seeing what is going on then you can “like” KISC on facebook, https://www.facebook.com/KISC1987 or
