Hi, Friend,

Isn't it funny how perspectives can be so different? While many kids in the U.S. are counting down the days until summer break, Mustard Seed students are thrilled to be back in class after their three-week term break.

These darling faces tell the story—school is where these kids want to be!

In Lukaya, just south of the Equator, there's no summer or winter—just two rainy seasons and two dry ones. The school calendar begins in February and ends in November, with two three-week breaks between terms.

Quick summer update: Starting in June, I'll be sharing photo stories on the fourth Friday of each month. Watch for the "Fourth Friday Foto"!

Hope your summer is filled with joy, Elaine
