Outside and inside the interview roomAfter the New Year holiday we saw 20 people on Wednesday for job training. Some very young school leavers, some middle aged with families. We selected three women to train as motor mechanics. One is in her thirties with two young children. Her husband was murdered 2 or 3 years ago. Ten or eleven men want to do driving, so we have negotiated a price with the driving school that will give them the full range of vehicles, plus motorbikes. We were not aware that the motorbike licence is separate. Most drivers in town are unlicensed and very dangerous. We shall be doing our small part to improve the road safety.
On Thursday we took two of our scholarship girls to a new school. They have done well and we are moving them to a bigger and higher rated school. It took us most of the day to obtain permission to remove their belongings from one school and then sign them in to the new one.
On Friday our American teachers arrived for the teacher seminars to start next week.
On Saturday we received the shy gifts of one egg and a stick of sugar cane as we handed over a well to a local community
Here are the 'before' and 'after pictures. It took 65 seconds to fill a 20 litre container with clear water.
