Faith was going to Nemasu this morning for a weeks visit,
and we had arranged for a local taxi driver who knew the way to meet her at the
turntable. We were meeting some of the students
from Plymouth who wanted to see a
private nursery school to contrast with the Government school they had visited
last week. We called at the storeroom to
pick up the items for Nemasu, loaded the truck and set off for the turntable. The mini-bus was on time and they followed us
down to Nemasu where Faith was already in the playground with class one and
their teacher, teaching ‘Charlie over the Ocean’ There were 10 students with
Liz and Miles, and they all congregated in Mr Sallah’s office before being
formed into three groups and split between the three classrooms. Steve went off with the caretaker to deliver
some charcoal which we had collected for Mr Sallah on our way back yesterday. At break time the students helped the pupils
with some of the play items, including some they had brought, balls and
skipping ropes, and observed how they formed themselves into groups around the
lunch bowls. Steve returned with a huge
gash on his head, apparently the verandah at Mr Sallah’s house is very low, and
Steve being tall he had walked straight into it, saw stars and fell over!! Liz in a first aider and was able to treat
the gash with antiseptic and large plasters. The morning over, the students
climbed into their mini-bus and we said our goodbyes. I returned to the storeroom for yet more
sorting, whilst Steve went off to see Musa our mechanic as they are looking for
a new truck. Early in the evening he
returned home with the news that they think they have found one and they are
going to test drive it tomorrow. We had
dinner and then settled down to watch a film, but had one of our frequent power
cuts half way through, so we abandoned the TV and went to bed.
