Phoebe's Pictures from Renk, No. 4
Above is one of Phoebe's shots of some of the buildings of Renk Theological College. At the left is the kitchen, in the center is the library, and at the right is one of the classrooms that was used by Phoebe in teaching Hebrew. Nudged between the library and the classroom is a dorm room with six beds for students. Phoebe reports that it has poor rain-proofing, and that water tends to flood in during rainstorms!
This is the inside of Phoebe's classroom, showing a student at the blackboard. If you look closely, you can see that the class is studying the Hebrew imperatives. The visiting teachers have used the Page Kelley Hebrew Textbook with some success. Each day, they would teach Hebrew for about 5 1/2 hours!

Thank you so much for posting these. I want to go back!!
When I was there they had recently built a dorm...do you know if is it still being used and the middle building pictured here is for overflow, or is there a problem with the new dorm building?
Hi Elizabeth,
I'll check on this with Lauren Stanley and with Phoebe and report back. Blessings, ---S.
I checked with Lauren Stanley today, and she says that the theological college really desparately needs a dorm. Right now, according to Lauren, students are sleeping in classrooms and under other makeshift conditions. According to her, money desparately needs to be raised to build a new dorm for the school. ---S.
Thanks for post. It’s really informative stuff.
