Up and Running!


The first day of our last week, and mixed feelings and mixed-up tummies are running havoc! We are enjoying the sun, the students, and each other but we are also starting to miss home. However, we are forming wonderful friendships that could last for many years to come.

Apart from the fun and the run(s), we are actually teaching and today was a mix of teaching civics, geography, religious studies, linear equations, teaching of the letter g, counting, number identification, gymnastics and addition to name a few.

The planning sessions generates marvellous discussions and we are even starting to enjoy the lovely Honey Bunny’s interactive activities at the end of the sessions.

Yes, the roads are bumpy, the trips are dusty and the journeys long, but in our hearts there still is a song as we are privileged and honoured to be working alongside the most amazing educators - a people of hope, of strength, of joy, of zeal and passion. And we, we are just….humbled.
