A Game Changer

Our time at The Esther School is coming to an end.  We've become attached to this special place and are thoroughly enjoying all the children and staff at the school.  I'm feeling like we need time to process our thoughts and feelings about how this special place has impacted us.  We always knew we were fortunate to have good health care and education and the conveniences of simple things but Zambia has hit this message home.  Each day I see children lying on the floor in their classrooms sick with Malaria. Malaria is a part of this place yet it's as common place as the flu in our area.
I use to complain about waiting in the cold to get my children off the bus at the end of the drive way yet these children walk up to 7 km to get an education that they feel privileged to get.  They whole heatedly realize that their education is a gift and a game changer for an entire generation.
I've also become more aware of how many unnecessary belongings we cherish and feel we need to better our already amazing quality of life.  Life really is about people,  family, friendships and relationships.  It's about valuing the importance of lifting and helping eachother rather than looking out for number one.  Maybe our number one focus isn't where it should be and if we change it could be our game changer!
