Blantyre

Logged on in Joburg airport to pass the time.
I have had a fabulous experience in school, observing and teaching, I took assemble yesterday presenting what they call the sketch which is the educational presentation as opposed to warnings about wearing correct uniform and staying out of drinking dens!!
I arranged it with one of the teachers and helped the forth form S6 present, It was out side as they have no hall, I was bowled. It was very emotional when they presented us I was there with one colleague with a chetenge a traditional length of material worn as a wrap round skirt, the head teacher dressed us, I was nearly melting, when I had to speak it was emotional because the students work so hard, the teachers are totally committed and they have so few resourse.I saw amasing peer education and students taking reponsibility for tasks in school and running lunchtimeclubs I saw debating teachers do not usually attend it is run by the older pupils, they discussed so maturally things like HIV AIDS I was blown away by the young people and the Malawians are SO friendly you wouldn't beleive you smile all the time. Yes to adult learning and special needs.I will tell more when I return, running out of time. love to all Jules x
