Today was our last day of teaching at Bwelero School, it was a day filled with mixed emotions, because, despite the fun the children were having it was very sad to be leaving them. In the morning “The advanced party” set off early with Miss Bournon to the school. We…
We woke up to a dark and gloomy Malawi. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast of rice porridge (a traditional Malawi food) accompanied by monkeys thundering on the roof and playing in the trees. Some of us (“the advanced party” in Miss Bournon’s words) left at 7.45 because of our slow…
In the morning at 6am, a few of us went down to the lake to have a morning sunrise swim. Izzie, Phoebe, Sophia, Anna, Abi and Goooooldieeeeeeeeee went diving in the clear blue lake. The morning was really clear and so we could see the outline of Mozambique. Once we…
Lessons began at 9am as usual this morning, with standard 1 and 2 (younger children) being the recipients of the girls’ planning until 10:30, the older pupils from 11am to 1pm. The girls had really taken on board feedback from the local teachers, and from our staff the night before,…

Today the working week ended! On our last day working with the children of Stara Zagora, we met with the same kids as yesterday – being recognised and saying our hellos was great, especially with the younger kids who got very excited to see us again – and split them…
As neither of us cried today, you could probably say that we are the least qualified two people to write the post for the last day of teaching. Duncan: Needless to say, this was an emotional day for many of us, as we have spent the past 5 days teaching…
Today was another eventful day. In the morning we all went to a park where we then met with 40 kids with different age ranges. We spilt the kids into 3 different groups and taught them about different values to do with the Olympics; friendship, courage and equality. In my…
