| Mboole Basic School- over 900 pupils are enrolled at this rural school where 14 teachers are employed |
On Saturday, I donated my day to be the bus driver who carted some 15 or 20 pupils from one rural school to a workshop at another rural school.
(Our neighbor, Kajungu coordinated the two-day workshop.)

For the most part, I spent the day soaking in the beauty of Mboole-- the warm sunshine, gentle breeze, and blue sky full of puffy clouds...
That and I wrote a lot of letters. So, chances are if you receive a card from me in the next month or two it was written last Saturday at Mboole Basic School.

classic african pics (photo op envy). Love the clouds chasing clouds phrase. 900/14, scary student/teacher ratio. I'm assuming this is a secondary school? What was the workshop? Glad you were able to make a pleasant break of the trip.
ReplyDeleteBasic school = grade 1-9. The headmaster told me they also have over 125 registered for nursery school there at Mboole.
DeleteGuess what though? They do have a small library at this school! yay for books. I even saw Froggy and a few other fun classics.
Workshop topics include: peace and conflict resolution, peer education, safe sex, how to deal with abuse (what is abuse), etc.
