Today was a multi facet day. Started with painting our 'favourite' class room. The white paint is slowly starting to show white on the ceiling. The town volunteers showed up in force and helped out. We also started building the school desks - no Ikea kits, just raw lumber and hand saws. Unfortunately the saws needed sharpening so was a slow slog, but did manage to cut some 12+ planks which are used for the desk tops. Also Andrew and Caroline were running computer class for the school principals - have to remember that back to basics is real basic. They have created forms for their standard reports they 'just have to fill in'. The challenge is the people have very, very little computer skills. Time will tell how well this helps them in the days ahead after we leave.
The afternoon had more computer classes, starting the painting in the newest (still in construction) class room and Roger and Dave attending the Kilema Rotary club meeting. A very productive day on all fronts. Hard to believe we left the cold and snow of Canada a week ago.
