Greetings one and all! I hope the New Year is filled with peace and calm,
small acts of kindness and hope.
In Namibia, I am entering the New Year and a new part of Namibia at the
same time. Our first scheduled workshop is on January the 16th in the
Oshigambo circuit. I will be meeting with teachers from 10 schools,
practically on the border with Angola.
Having been to this part of Namibia only once before, I have scant
memories. I was there during my training as a WorldTeach volunteer. I
remember only kind and open people, pervasive roaming goats and sheep,
and heat like nothing else!
I am equipped with mosquito netting, anti-malarial drugs and a sense of
humour. My car has been checked out, fixed up, and deemed fit for any
challenge.
HAMU and the Ministry of Education are eager for the Our HIV ABC programme
to continue. The Director and Head Education Officer were pleased with
our Monitoring and Evaluation report from the Pilot workshops. I will be
reporting to HAMU monthly with numbers of teachers trained and materials
distributed.
Geoffrey Silver, who is managing the Sekolo website, will be sending emails
and updating the website with a map of the workshops in Namibia. I hope
to provide pcitures from each workshop to illustrate the places where
Sekolo is training.
As always, thank you for you support and encouragement. Be well and keep
in touch.
Elizabeth
