On the first Friday of October, HLF students participated in another chapel program at the school and, as usual, it was a great arrangement.

The chapel program is held twice a month – the first Friday and the last Friday. The sole purpose of the chapel program is to help the kids learn or practice how to play assigned roles during actual programs organized by the school. It gives the kids the opportunity to practice how to introduce programs, how to introduce guest speakers, how to sing, how to dramatize stories, how to recite Bible verses, how to say rhymes and poems and so forth.

The chapel program was special in that one of the new teachers named Mark D. Joe, who is a musician and who has been teaching the kids music since he entered the school last month, had the kids practice singing some of the new songs taught them.

Our kids always excitedly look forward to the chapel program, and we are happy that we have instructors who are willing to help our kids.
