Happy Belated Holidays!

Hello all,

Hope everyone's healthy and had a great Christmas and New Year's.

Not too much news here. I've begun work on a US Aid funded grant for about $800 to provide the school with some new materials, including classroom and corridor light bulbs, new hallway curtains, a new chemistry laboratory and some new athletic equipment. I hear back about that grant on Februrary 9th. Will be sure to let you know.

I just posted some new pictures on gotwald.myphotoalbum.com. They include Christmas and New Year's at home with my host family, some of my students at their annual New Year's party at school, and also a New Year's/Christmas pagent that my students and I organized with the kids from School #4 in the neighboring town of Kant. Just click on the PICTURES link to your right.

Best wishes,
Rick
