2021 was a year to remember for the world, and so it was with us, at the Academy, as we tried to find our way back to some kind of operational norm. Slowly as restrictions lifted, we started with our weekly training sessions. We found we had to shuffle things around and find new facilities in some cases but we slowly started moving again.
With that came our first international volunteer , Julia, who arrived in August and was such a delight and a burst of energy. The kids loved having her around and we certainly were thankful she chose us to spend her time with.
We had our first Beach trip December, post covid and we were so thankful to be in a position to take the kids on this outing considering so many organizations did not make it through covid and were forced to close down. We cannot ignore the grace extended to us in this season.
