A new Beginning

  
  
  

Mashaallah, the dream came true and a new decade began for us as a family.
The project is succeeding, subhanallah:

The doors opened Thursday, 16th September and half our house became a school!
For this first year we host now every Monday to Friday 16 children age five to seven.

We are establishing our own pedagogy and are practicing teaching methods that follow the idea of an open, encouraging, free, individualized learning environment.
We respect the Moroccan curriculum but follow the child’s rhythm.

We nurture the child’s roots and help him to use his wings to fly and to discover new horizons, inchaallah.

I am a teacher now; a creator of new didactic methods, a facilitator, a mentor, and a school manager.

It’s a huge new duty for me, it’s a lot of work and my mind is with the project nearly from the moment I wake up until I go to bed.
It is time consuming and breathtaking, it’s demanding and trustworthy. But I love it! Alhamdulillah.

Thanks God for all the blessings we received over the last weeks,
thanks God for facilitating us the bureaucracy and the entire organisation,
thanks God for the lovely motivated director-woman we found, tbaralkallah,
and thanks God for the help we receive from all the people around!
May Allah protect this school and all the people within.
May Allah guide us always to the right path.
May He shower us with His mercy, pleasure, peace and blessings.

Ameen.

Thanks for your thoughts and happy week friends, sorry, I am just too busy to write more regularly at the moment…

‘Id el Fitr 2010

  
  

…it was (nearly) all about food, meeting as a family and being thankful for what Allah has gifted us with, subhanallah – a blessed celebration on a blessed Friday after a blessed month of Ramadan.

And now it is again all about the school… we are working day and night and I am off to organize and prepare the last things before we will open our school in a few days, inchaallah. Please keep us in your prayers and I will keep you informed,

Barak Allahu fikoum and happy week!

it’s all about…

  

… the school.

A bit of reading qur’an every morning after suhoor, making sure to eat healthy food and to get enough sleep, but unfortunately there’s not much time for more spirituality these days… too busy with parents meetings, the enrolling, the arranging of furniture and materials and the preparation of the pedagogy and a timetable… ten days and the school will open its doors, inchaallah. We need your dua’!

  
  

I leave you with this link to some beautiful thoughts and wish you a happy weekend and a blessed last week of Ramadan, friends!
