Easter Monday with kids

Each week, Newt goes to a school started by a member of the Bukit Doa International Protestant Church, Susan. The school is Christian. The children in the school are mostly Hindu, although some are Christian. Most of the families are very poor. Susan teaches Christian concepts along with the usual learning of numbers, letters, colors, behavior, etc. On Easter Monday, they took a special trip to the beach, had an Easter egg hunt, a lesson from Pastor Newt about Christ's resurrection, and a farewell to some of the international volunteers that help in the school. His lessons have to be translated phrase by phrase by Susan or another of the teachers into Indonesian. Needless to say, it is hard to put Christian concepts into understandable terms for these cute little Hindu children.
