Conversations with Barnabas: Meet Mery
Before I get started, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who wished me well after last week's blog. My fever finally broke for good that Monday night. I have been coughing it all up out of the deep recess of my lungs this week. My throat is still very raw feeling and I am tired, but was able to help all week fill in for the teacher that was sick and proctored tests all day. Due to the sluggish mental attitude, I am behind on my creative aspects of my job. So I will go back to an old standby and introduce one of our student's via the Conversations with Barnabas program. This week I meet Mery's dad when he stopped by the school to meet with our Head Teacher (principal). He works at the sugar plantation that I ride through to get to our school each week after my day in town. This means Mery and her family are not the traditional Maasai that surround our school. Mery is one of those kids that would be any teacher's bright spot....
