So exciting...our first day!

Monday July 19th, 2010- Created byKate

Today was our first work day in Malungeni. Richard and Ismay set off to MDumbe to teach while Holly took on the pre-schoolers at the community centre. Cam, Andrew, Michelle, Val, Susan, and Debra headed to Mbange School while Tanya, Anya, and I walked to Langeleki school. After a little confusion, we turned around to joint he crew at Mbange. We learned that it’s important to go with the flow and we did have a nice walk.

When we arrived at Mbange, we met with the principal and the teachers. Everyone seemed very excited that we were there. We then went off to various classrooms and interacted with the students. Michelle and Val led the kids in song during recess and all the kids were excited to share some of the songs they knew.

Around noon, Michelle, Val, and Andrew headed off to Mthatha with Olga and Tanya. They picked up supplies and rendezvoused with Michelle’s suitcase. Sounded like they had a few adventures along the way. I can’t wait for tomorrow.
