Sahel Academy

Oh me oh my, I just had the best time going through the pictures that I have taken over the past 3 years. Sahel Academy has been such a BIG part of our lives.  The kids transitioned to this new place and culture so well….we came mid year in January. The kids were greeted and drawn in immediately. Leaving our lives in  the states was  not an easy decision and there were many unknowns.

We have enjoyed so many experiences and have enjoyed a quality Christian education! Camp outs, Fine Arts festivals, Banquets & Balls, sporting events, Field Day at the BIG national stadium, swim meets, Medieval Fair, silly dress up days, parades, space fair, Stuco events….I could go on and on…PURE JOY! I am sure these pictures will not do it justice, but I will try. So many friends, some have left, some are home on furlough and many are still here….great memories with both teachers and students!

This year has been a different one. As some of you remember, we were flooded out of our school in August. We are currently meeting at an alternate location. This year is different due to a large number of new staff members. So, thankful for each of them and all they add…….so thankful for the teachers and staff that have been here to teach and interact with my kids. Some are still here and some have gone. They will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Much needs to be done to return to the campus for next year’s school year. Your prayers and support are appreciated. Love you, Sahel Academy, both past and present. This will be one of our hardest goodbyes! Sahel Academy is truly a wonderful place FULL of wonderful people.
