An unschooling adventure
Posted by DAVID BC TAN under: Family.
Selina and Edward Lim are parents to 4 lovely kids. This family of unschoolers from Penang is testimony to the extraordinary adventure that awaits all who choose to raise and educate their own children outside the public school system. The Lims are founders and pastors of Gateway City Church in Penang. Here’s a short video that the family produced to demonstrate skills/lessons they have learnt and share their joy of unschooling. This is what Selina has to say about the video:
“Early this month I organized a ladies’ special night for my church and friends. My daughters, Ashlynn (13), Nathalynn (12) and Chrisalynn (8) took the opportunity to learn digital media for the first time from our media personnel in church. They spent 4 days (about 25-30 hours in total) doing everything from preparing for interview to running it, setting up equipments and using them, laboring on the whole editing process, choosing music for background, meticulously worked on the art & craft and the whole works of shooting and all. Our house turned into a studio. There are 3 parts to the presentation. Each child did one part each. The week was filled with excitement of learning, doing, redoing, perfecting the piece and lots of praying too. End result was very fulfilling for each of them. My message to the ladies was based on Isaiah 43:4 – being precious, honored and loved.”
