I went to the school today and had my weekly meeting with the volunteers. All of them are going well and settling into their new homes. So far they have been teaching classes in art, English, PE and hygiene. Next week they will begin computer classes as well. All are managing the transport to and from the school well.
We were also very impressed with the amount of money they fundraised. Thank you to the volunteers and families as well, as this means we will be able to give them a substantial project to work on while they're here. Their experience here will therefore not only be all the more enriching, but they will also be able to make more of a significant contribution to the community as a result - a great outcome.
One of the most positive things I've noticed is that they are all the volunteers are making friends quickly and bonding well.
