BRINGING HOPE TO NEW HOPE, SAMOA
Nola Rasmussen, NZ, Mafa Faleone, Samoa
The team from Bethlehem College arrived on the 4th July. There were 13 students and three teachers and the Associate Principal, Phil Russell. The team helped at the New Hope Schools in the villages, as well as at a Christian College. The New Hope Schools cater for children in the villages. One school has only 9 children, and another has twenty four children.

It was a wonderful time for the schools!
The group divided into three groups and they lived with the teachers in the villages. They worked in New Hope for two weeks and three days. How amazing it was! They took a lot of lessons- health, maths, Bible stories as well as lots of fun activities. We were so blessed by them. They also brought resources for the school. It was a wonderful beginning for the term with these great people from New Zealand.

Another team came to visit!
Just three days later we had a team come from the First Baptist Church of Covina, California. There were eleven of them. They worked in New Hope for ten days helping in our training on Mondays and going to classes each day. Wow! What God has done for New Hope this term. They taught the children many things using drama and song and had lots of fun with them. they also provided resources for the school.
