Daily Schedule

A few people have asked about a typical day here, so I thought I would give an update on the schedule.

*The morning details, I am just going from what they tell me, because I am not as quick out of bed in the morning and the children. Most of them wake up around five and have their bath and then go to study hall. At six they have morning prayer and usually I can hear the prayer song on the speakers from my room. Then, they go back to study hall until 7:15.

*All Primary and secondary students follow the same bell schedule.

7:15- Cleaning work (sweeping, trash dumping)
7:45- Breakfast
8:30- Classroom study hall (1st bus of village children arrives)
9:15- School prayer and national anthem
9:30- 1st period starts (2nd bus arrives)
10:20- 2nd period
11:00- 10 minute break (recess)
11:10- 3rd period
11:50- 4th period
12:40- Lunch
1:40- 5th period
2:20- 6th period
3:00- 10 minute break (recess)
3:10- 7th period
3:50- 8th period
4:30- Recreation time
5:30- Evening study hall
7:15- Evening prayer (Rosary)
7:45- Supper
8:15- Free time (I have agreed to 15 minutes with the girls and 15 minutes with the boys because it was the easiest way to please everyone)
8:45- Night study
9:30- Sleeping

They have school most Saturdays, so it's the same schedule. Sundays they have morning church and afternoon mass. The rest of the day is free for parents and family to come visit and many students take naps. There are still several hours for them to study though. This week every student has their big public exam, so there is more studying than usual. They are looking forward to the visit from Westside's team though with many dances planned. They also get a 3 day holiday to go home and rest from all the exams.

I am looking forward to seeing the team as well and will keep their safe travels in my prayer.
