School has started!!!

Monday, October 18th Noemi and Brikena started with the homeschooling of the kids. After 3 days doing it, everybody still likes it!!! We will just continue with their program from Switzerland, so when we come back, they can jump back in. We have all their books, CDs and exercise books. A very special thanks to their wonderful teachers who prepared everything, helped US to prepare for homeschooling and are still helping us through the internet!!! Thank you Iris, Yvonne and Ms. Knellwolf!!!

We have to use the kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms as classrooms. Break they usually take in our garden. Deborah asked the 1st morning if she can take a snack to school!!! :-)

Three days a week, the kids go the american school in Wamena for arts, music and physical education. It is all in English, but they have swiss and german friends there who help them to understand. They are learning fast though. Sarah is even trying some indonesian... To go to school, they take this schoolbus below!!! They love riding the becak (betschak), but they said they still prefer Urs, their schoolbus driver in Switzerland!!!
