Bryton is the name drawn for this week’s blog. He is around 4 years old, healthy happy kid. He runs in the pack of young ones like Princess, Joan and Ebenzery who are difficult to get to sit down for more than a minute or two which is common at that age. While it is…

I am going to put this in the I am too old for this column
So I had a fun first part of the week and thought I would share it to break up all the meet the student stories. My parents have a rental house in Gatlinburg TN. We took a trip up in April and dad showed me this boulder that is at the top of the very…

Meet our Students: Precious
Last blog I mentioned Precious as Joan’s sister and I felt instead of having someone draw a new name out of the bag for me to blog about I would just finish her story. The picture to the left sums up Precious for the most part. When it comes to anything where she can creatively…

It is difficult to truly tell you about Ebenzery without addressing what would be described in most developed countries as a learning/development challenge. You see Ebenzery is in…
