Moses has asked Jamlick, the foreman of the building team who are here to build the teachers’ block, to give him a price for finishing the new classroom. He will also prepare a price for the new desks once Moses and his colleagues have decided exactly how many and what sizes are needed.
I have just spoken to CCol on the ‘phone and it seems to us that your fund-raising will not only cover these two projects, but also the purchase of sets of textbooks for the children. Wonderful!
I met Emmanuel this morning. He is connected with the Community Agricultural Development Association. He came to look at the large community greenhouse. The people round here are herders, remember, and do not grow their own crops or foods. He will advise them on tying the tomato plants to wire supports so that they don’t grow aimlessly.
I didn’t exactly dial a pizza (free delivery) today, but as you can see from the picture, a treat for me and the other staff arrived this morning….thank you to Mercy and her family (no, it won’t be I who does the dirty deed, but I’m quite looking forward to supper all the same!)
CCol tells me it’s freezing at home. Here, it’s about 30 degrees.
We’ll find out later if the battery charging experiment has been a success. Fingers crossed!
Dear Mr Ellery,
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your information. We are jealous that you are so nice and warm.
Year 3 would like to know:
What languages are spoken at your school?
Do the children eat the same food as you?
What ages are the children at your school?
What Years/Forms are they in?
How many children go to the school?
What lessons do the classes do?
How long are the lessons?
We would love to hear from you when you can.
Take care,
love 3M:)
Dear Mr David,
ReplyDelete5E have really been enjoying your news and pictures which we have been looking at most mornings. They have made me very welcome as their temporary tutor just as the Sanga school seem to have welcomed you. You look quite at home already. The boys have asked if you have seen any old LandRovers and the girl can't wait to see some pictures of African animals.
How are the comfort levels in your tent?
Best regards
Mr Somerville
Dear David,
ReplyDeleteIt has been very cold over the last few days at Forest School. Without you we had to light our own fire as it was impossible to function without tea or hot chocolate! The wild garlic is suddenly almost covering the wood and we are excited at the prospect of garlic bread, wild garlic pesto and pizza. Year 2 have built mini beast hotels from old wooden lockers and are hopeful that worms, slugs ladybirds, spiders or caterpillars will take up residence! What lives alongside you in your tent? Nothing too nasty I hope!Next week is Shrove Tuesday so we hope to cook pancakes over the fire.I envy your warm sun we had a frost here this morning and the buckets of water in the wood had ice on them. Enjoying your news,
Love FS Nicix
Good afternoon David, I have just signed in, I hope I am doing this properly, lovely to speak to you yesterday, it sounds as if you are having a lovely time. Look forward to hearing more from you and Sanga
