Yesterday we had 'spring cleaning' at our school.Everyone--the faculty, office staff, students, and the two kids of Chun-Suk who were having their Korean school break--chipped in.
I must say 'spring cleaning' is a GREAT idea.
There's something about getting rid of dirt together that bond people.
And it's wonderful to come back to a cleaner school.
This, by the way, was our second spring cleaning exercise this year.
Last month faculty and students went to an old folks' block nearby to help 15 households clean their units.
Most of these old people live alone.
The lady our group visited is a widow whose husband died five years ago.
"Better don't trouble my children," she said.
Paul Park and James Na washed her windows, Roland scrubbed her kitchen, Benson mopped her floor while I sat and talked to her (hey, the guys insisted, ok?).
Found out one of her sons is a believer. But she's a Taoist.
Before we left, we had Siew Hong, who's a nurse by training, come over from another unit to look at her swollen wrist.
Then we prayed for her and left.
Training Leaders for the Global Harvest--
that's the dream of EAST.
A leader is a servant.
Humble.
Willing to get down and dirty.
Loves people.
Spring cleaning--
does its job.
