How much longer?

The girls are tired of being home all the time, they are longing to go back to school. Since halfway through March they’ve been home because of the summer break and that kept on going due to COVID-19.

The staff has done their best to make sure that the girls kept on learning and the older girls had online studies but that only filled the mornings. The afternoons are often filled with reading, arts and crafts, or watching a movie. Of course they also cook together and clean the house. But that is not the same as seeing your classmates every day and having a normal routine. This is has also been a tough time for the mothers, because having to entertain and take care of the girls is much harder than just before and after school. We are thankful that this time has come to an end because the schools reopened on the 1st of July!
