We have started our second year in Honk Kong and feel that we have adjusted to life in the city. It is quite a safe city and things work well for the most part. The frequency and versatility of the modes of transport are very commendable. We are well.
The new school year has started and things are going pretty well. Our school held a welcome dinner to receive both new and returning teachers. We wore our Nigerian outfit to the dinner and many people admired them and took pictures with us.

In the elementary school, they used to line up and go as whole class for lunch, recess and specials. Chika is in grade 5 and doing okay at the moment. He is still getting used the grade.
The Middle School camp was supposed to be from Wednesday September 24th to Friday
September 26th. However, a typhoon (severe weather condition) struck Hong Kong Tuesday night to early hours of Wednesday. 
Consequently, schools were closed on Wednesday for safety reasons and so the camp was held on Thursday and Friday only. 
The camp went well. It is a part of the “alternative education” component of our school’s curriculum. The students engage in many outdoor activities, social interactions and discussions, and a few Bible messages. It is a great fun time.
The elementary school camp is for 4th and 5th graders. Chikacha is looking forward participating in it. Last year he went with Alex, but since Alex is in the middle school now, he has go alone. Of course, there are other students in his class and the teachers at the camp.
The Week Without Walls event in our school will take place in the week of November 10th to 14th. I am coordinating it for the middle school. Alex will be going to Malaysia, without mom or dad. That will be the first time he will spend a week with any other member of our family. I will be in Indonesia on a similar trip, while Tamari and Chika will be in Hong Kong. We will see how that goes. I will write more on that next time.
