Dr. Sally dropped Simon and I off at Holy Family Monday morning on our way back to Muheza from Peponi's. We arrived during first period and taught 4 classes. We continued with word processing and font options, trying to give them each time on the computer. During morning break, the first hard rain fell. Hopefully this means the end of the dry season and the return of water to Muheza.
About 10 teachers came at lunchtime and stayed for the whole period. None of them had ever received any training in computers so they needed to be shown everything from turning the computer on to launching a program to mouse functions to saving a file. Mostly they started with word processing or games. Several drafted letters. A couple opened every link on the computer and they all asked questions. What is this? How do I burn? They came back Tuesday and there will be time for them today as well.
Today is our last teaching day. We pack up tonight and catch the 8am bus to Arusha for our trip to the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Tarangere. Access to the internet will be limited to internet cafes once we leave Muheza.

ReplyDeleteAs the maples skyrocket outwards with their last crimson and gold plumes we r thinking of you heading out on safari and then to imagined beauties by the Indian Ocean.
Safe safari! May you see many very tall giraffes,no snakes and may the distant horizon turn your heads and hearts once westward again.
