Latest News from Nicolette's school in Africa

Jambo,

there's nothing like good news!!! :) Since I'm back in the UK, that's about 2 months now, I've had very little news from my school back in Tanzania. However, the little I had was good actually great :) I received emails from Dr. Asteria & Saada as well as Moses and Corneille, not to mention Joanna's visit and update on her blogsite.

I was thrilled to hear that the kids are attending their new school and have been for more than a month now. Even though the school was still empty at the time, I just got to know that thanks to two new volunteers, Martin and Kerry, the little ones now have a small black board, exercise books, abc chart, toys, pencils, pens, balls etc.. as well as 2 two temporary teachers!! :) THANK U!! (Oh, I wish I had some photos!)

Renovation works have also progressed, apparently. The walls have been smoothed and painted too, while Asteria and Saada moved their tiny offices into the new school's rooms. In the meantime, I've transferred some money into the WEMA Centre account, which was left from the donations I received from my family and friends in Malta. I hope some desks will be made with that money.

I so would have loved to have stayed at least one more month to see that everything is in place and seeing if not teaching the children myself at my school, however, I have travel plans which extend towards the East this time and that's pretty soon so it will be a while until I pay a visit....which makes me sad thinking about it. In the meantime, thank God for email and blogs, of course!! :)

ta for now
watch out for a recount of my adventures in Cape Town in my next blog - coming soon...

Nicky
