Sept - Oct: Karen's Visit - Study time

The three oldest boys have now started two year courses at Loyala Technical College in Madurai. They are studying to be electricians and a mechanic. Half the classes are taught in English, so their English is really improving and it was nice to have some small conversations with them. The younger boys have settled into a great routine of homework and revision before school and in the evenings. Several of them scored marks betwen 70 and 80% in their exams and Stephen scored 100% in Science which got everyone excited. We're still in negotiations with the village leaders to get final permission to start our new tutoring program at the village school.
