Graduation

School is done differently in this country. We're now in our summer break and a new school year will begin in January. They make a pretty big deal of graduation from kindergarten as well as 9th grade and 12th grade. The picture below shows most of our little ones. The ones with the green ribbon around their neck are the kindergarten graduates. The girl in the blue/white is Beatrice, who graduated from the 9th grade. She's quite a gal and has lots of potential. The high school graduate is Diana. She's been here for about 10 years, and just left about a week ago to go live with a family member. She's hoping to get accepted into a local Christian University. If so, her current sponsors will also pay for her college education.
