While Tracy fought (yet again) with the banks, Mark, Catherine, and I went to Roman Ridge School, where we selected Mark’s classes (Math, History, Information Technology, French, Biology, Literature, and Language Arts), came to an understanding about fees, and purchased his uniform. Tomorrow is Mark’s first day of school.
Later, Tracy, Catherine, and I went to International Community School, which looks like a good option for Catherine. It is close to our flat, has small class sizes (less than 12 students each), and has a swimming pool! Catherine will take a placement test tomorrow, and Thursday will be her first day of school.
At dinner, Catherine enjoyed scooping the meat out of her papaya.
Tomorrow, interim students arrive, and Tracy departs for Akropong. She’ll take Calvin’s car, leaving the kids and me without wheels. Pastor Sammy (from near Akropong) had organized a substitute car. What a blessing! But, there is a problem, and it can be delivered only tomorrow at Noon. That means that Mark, Catherine, and I must rely on taxis to travel from the flat to Roman Ridge to International Community School and back to our flat in the morning. If the car is delivered by Noon, we’ll use it to pick up Mark at the end of the day. What are the odds it will all work?
