Dear Friend, In the old black and white photos of our long-passed relatives rarely can a smile be seen. It was the fashion of those days. However even today certain cultures reluctantly share a smile and mistrust anyone who does. Granted no one walks around with a permanent smile plastered on his or her face. Yet who isn’t cheered by the warm natural smile of someone who is happy and joyful?
親愛的朋友， 在我們早已逝去的親戚的黑白老照片中，很少能看到微笑。 這是當時的社會風氣。然而，即使在今天，某些文化仍然不但不會主動分享他們的笑容，甚至不信任面帶微笑的人。 當然，沒有人沒事臉上掛著永久的微笑。 然而，一個歡喜快樂的人，有誰不被他那溫暖自然的微笑所鼓舞呢？

The students (above) in their first year at the Kooyers Sodas School gave an unprompted welcoming smile before their teacher started class that morning. This year in the PIM school at Ambunti there was an enrolment of 320 and next year another class, the 8^th grade, will be added. In all of the PIM schools there were 2,213 students taught by 56 teachers. What a privilege to have the input of Christian schools in all of these lives!
在Kooyers Sodas學校一年級的學生（上圖）在老師開始上課之前，他們自然地露出了歡迎的微笑。 今年在安布恩提的PIM學校(即Kooyers Sodas學校)有320名入學人數，明年將增加另一個班級，即八年級 。 在所有PIM學校中，有2，213名學生由56名教師授課。我們得以設立基督教學校在這些人生命中，這是多麼大的榮幸！
