Chinese New Year & Chika's Birthday

Chinese New Year in Hong Kong and other parts of south-east Asia is like Christmas season. It was celebrated this year on the 7th and 8th of February. In fact, it is the most important holiday for many people here. There are a lot of decorations, and festivities. Many offices and shops were closed and people were in merry mood.
Our school had a week vacation. However, we did not travel outside Hong Kong, although a number of our colleagues did. We hope to travel during the Easter and summer vacations. For Easter, we are considering going to the Philippines, Thailand or Hainan Island (China). For the summer, we will be in Nigeria, by God’s grace.

Chikacha has just turned nine years old. Happy Birthday Kacha! Our family prayed over him and celebrated with cake and ice cream. The following day, a few of his friends came over to our house and celebrated further with him. By the way, Alex is currently ten and a half. He will be eleven years old on August 26th this year. It is amazing how time flies. We are very grateful to God though, because they are doing very well. Alex is in grade five while Chika is in grade 4.
The facilities in the new school building are certainly better than what we had in the old campus. There are better equipped classrooms, laboratories, two gymnasia, a standard-sized swimming pool, fitness center and more.
