On Monday, we had our first day at Eileen Ngchoch Primary School. It was Independence Day, so there were only around 100 students in. This gave us the chance to have a tour of the school, meet some of the learners, and deliver art and photography lessons, as well as play a quick game of football (they’re absolutely ruthless and don’t care about flooring people!).
We also started hacking the floor in the Grade 9 (Year 10) classroom ready for tiling — which Patrick said was the hardest he has ever worked!
We all took part in a Swahili lesson, which has given us loads of new words to use (uwaje is George’s favourite).
When we got back, it was packed: football with Nacho, who is now Rhys’ new best mate; pranks on Miss Savage; and round one of the pub quiz — history beginning with A, afcon badges, guess the bear, guess the chocolate bar, and a unique round of “guess which teacher…”.
Can you guess which of us is related to Sting?
Respect. Engage. Aspire.
