Here in Spain, schools will be on holiday for the coming week. It's "semana blanca" or "white week" - the mid term holiday, when families can take advantage of winter snow to go skiing in other parts of the country.

Back in Europe
Yes, just like the title of this blog, I'm now back in Europe again, and I'm pleased to report that the trip was comparatively uneventful this time. My first flight left Tana at 1.30 in the morning, and arrived in Paris twelve hours later to sub-zero temperatures. Catching my connecting flight to Spain went very smoothly and I was back in Malaga by late afternoon yesterday. The trip had taken only 19 hours in total (unlike my trip to Madagascar which had taken a marathon 37 hours!)
As part of the College of Education in the University of the Nations, I'm always interested to learn of Christian schools being run by YWAMers around the world. Just before leaving Tana, I was able to visit Madagascar Christian Academy, an English language school with pupils from age 3 to 15. It was a joy to be able to pray with school principals, Braun and Pri, and to visit each of the classrooms from the youngest pre-schoolers to the Grade 9 pupils. (Grades ten to twelve will be added as the present pupils grow and move up through the school.)
