Quick update

Hello all. Thanks for tuning in.

School's been great last few days! Knowledge which we take for granted comes as wide-eyed amazement to them. The kids learnt that the earth is not flat!! They learnt about other planets and space and how far things were. They were amazed when we told them about snow - "You know how cold a fridge is... well... the whole country turns into a fridge!".The wonder in their eyes is very satisfying.

An american gentleman by the name of Ryan arrived last Thursday. He is setting up a geography lab. He got National Geographic to sponsor it. He brought heaps of books, maps, globes, a new computer and funding to build a new room. He's very excited about the project and I think the kids will really appreciate it.

Rest is all good. Oh! I need to post about the survey in the village to encourage kids to come to school. But I have to return this laptop so... more on that next week.
