NEW BLOG SITE

     Hello from Génesis, We didn't really go anywhere, we just haven't posted for a while. Here is an update on some happenings at Génesis over the last 12 months. June 28, 2011 was the last post by Amy Green, the director at Génesis, and soon after that post, Amy moved back to the great state of Arkansas to continue her education. She is in the process of getting her Masters Degree in Special Education. Thanks Amy for all the hard work and "life" that you put into Genesis during your time here. It has made our adjustment much easier and the kids still ask about you.
     At that point, one of the current teachers for the past number of years, Maribel Mondragon stepped into the director shoes until Karen and I could arrive at the end of April 2012. The original plan was for her to go back to teaching when we arrived however, she did such a fantastic job in her new role that it was a unanimous decision to go to a three person team in the administrative end when we arrived.
   You can learn more about the journey of our family at our own blog The Unternahrer family in the DR . Maribel is in charge of teacher training along with the help of Karen, My primary role is maintaining of the building and property as well as doing the bookwork and finances of Genesis.
    You can see a photo of each teacher on the tabs at the top of this blog as well as a little history of their lives. The goal of Karen and myself is to follow the leading of God by helping the children at Genesis and at the same time, help the interns, teams, and semester program students to see what it is like be a servant of God in this role, in hopes that they too will continue to do the same their whole life.
     I will try to have a new updated post every few weeks or so. I also hope to lean hard on the interns, teams and semester students for updates, in using that as part of their training.
