I believe my net book is now not just sick, but defunct.
Having written two days’ worth of posts on it offline, ready to upload when the opportunity arose, I can’t even access that now. I’ll try to summarise, using Tina and her tablet.
On Friday (17th July) we had a meeting with Josphat, the chairman of Governors and another board member. We were welcomed and able to talk briefly about the school.
When the chairman left (he is a busy doctor), the rest of us toured the school, meeting staff and seeing pupils in the classrooms.
The welcome from the pupils was delightful and it was great to meet the staff, some of whom we knew from previous visits, like Meshak (Josphat’s uncle) at the entrance gate, and Sara, special needs teacher.
The play equipment is clearly a hit, as pupils rushed down to use it at the lunchtime break.
As ever, loads of photos were taken, and the pupils jostled to get themselves in front of the camera, eager to be snapped.
The new dining room is up–and–running and seems to be working well, although more still needs to be done: tiling the floor, acquiring furniture, applying a finish to the walls and purchasing another smaller cooking stove to supplement the 2 larger ones.
The tailoring department appears to be flourishing, with attractive creations made by children following the tailoring course, and also by pupils who belong to the sewing club.
We took note of specific areas which would benefit from maintenance.
