Sister Macasero came to the mission office at noon to guide me back to her high school where I had been invited to do a two-hour seminar for the teachers on “Child Friendly Attitudes – Christ-centered attributes.”The teacher training seemed to go well . . it was a very small group as it turned out which made it very nice for discussion and case studies etc. They had told me it was all the teachers at a government high school with just over 1000 students, but had not mentioned (probably figured it was such an 'obvious' thing that everyone would know it) that each teacher has about 80 students per class...yikes! I talked about love, forgiveness, and about being firm, fair and friendly, and concluded with talk about Jesus Christ - fine in schools here - and about his example as a master teacher. It was a good experience and I was so impressed with their cheerful attitudes, the unity among the teachers, and their determination to help the kids.
