Hello everyone! This has been our best day yet! We spent the whole day at Agape supervising exams, marking exams, teaching music and visiting with the children. The best part is being with them!!! They are so inquisitive about so many subjects, and we LOVE sharing with them.

This was the first exam in the new Science Lab! We were glad we weren’t the ones taking the exam!
