On Thursdays, 3 of us moms have been taking turns teaching our kids. We meet at the Maseru Sun pool for 2 hours of swimming and wow my kids have improved greatly, even Mercy who was not swimming at all till this year. Then we go to the "teachers" home for lunch and 2 hours of class time. It is so much fun to see other moms and their teaching styles and to teach other peoples kids too. I am loving this! I have decided to teach some music appreciation and science. The experiments are a ton of fun for the kids and I have always struggled to do it with my 3 kids and now I have other people depending on me too so it is easier to plan and follow through with science experiments.
A prayer point is that we are considering the idea of starting a small christian school in Maseru because our kids are loving this so much and we are all seeing the benefits of coming together to teach our kids. One of my new friends, Anna, is willing to coordinate the efforts and is working on it with her sending organization. I am talking with a friend who has expressed interest in seeing a christian school in Maseru and seeking his help. I would like prayer for guidance, wisdom, and favor from God in this process as we want to do what is best for our kids, but it is not a small task. God is good and we are trusting His leading as well as His timing.
Wow, how exciting! I will pray for this Anita, even though a big step..God always provides and equips when He calls. :)

Hi there my name is Roxy and I currently reside in Lesotho in a small and scenic village called Marakai baai. I live with my hubby Shaun and our two blessings Macayla-Mae aged 5 & Joshua aged 17 months. The kids and I moved here from S.A approximately a year ago and Shaun has been here for nearly 2 years. Hubby works at a medical marijuana facility as a main grower and nursery manager. I'm a stay at home mamma and am just getting into homeschooling. We are thankfully part of a stunning faith based community with other homeschooling mammas in the same position as myself. Homeschooling can be tough, but add isolation to the mix, well lets just say it takes allllllot of faith & if it wasn't for our Lord we'd have run to the mountains many a time������ Anyways would love to get connected and compare notes some time. Many blessings:Roxy
