2025 Graduation Day
I have been trying lately to write more to go along with the photos. I have turned to various AI engines but find they mainly add more verbiage to the descriptions I write them and therefore save me very little time. I do read them and have drawn some ideas from them. The fact that…
Tumaini Evangelistic Pre & Primary School Explores Arusha National Park
For the third year in a row, Tumaini Evangelistic Pre & Primary School has taken a study tour (field trip in the USA). Remember your own field trips to museums or local farms to learn but to also bring alive some of the lessons from the classrooms. Field trips are important to young students to…
2025 Spelling Competiton
I am going to be honest up front. I recently read an article about using Chat GPT (yes one of those AI services) to write or help create blog content that would inspire. So I gave it a try. I gave it some specific information about our recent Spelling Competition and let it go. Overall…
Student Presentation

Barnabas March 2014 Newsletter
This one is going to be very different. Because Blogger will not allow me to post a PDF file, I had to do this kind of weird. So Barnabas’ newsletter is on Facebook in two image files. I am posting the main article here but if you would like the count in Kiswahili, games and…
