We
recently visited St. Anthony's Secondary School, a new school nestled in the
hills a few miles above the Shisong hospital. It was interesting to see another
school, to see it under construction, talk to the principal about the
difficulties faced with a combination day/boarding student body, and to ask the
students why they attend school at St. Anthony's and not any other boarding
school in the country, such as SAC, or anything closer to their hometowns.
The
younger kids couldn't articulate why they went there, some of them because they
were Francophone and still learning English. Basically, they attend St. Anthony's because
their parents sent them there. The older students were much more articulate and
noted the different curriculum and the fact that there was a business and
marketing track, among other things.
Meanwhile, every single girl at the school crowded around Gabriel and wanted to hold him. I am always a little uncomfortable and guarded in these situations with strangers, but Logan is much more open and friendly. After all, she told me, what do you do when Jesus wants to hold your baby?
