8.1.14 Wednesday. Rotarians visit.

Steve and I went to the Kairaba hotel this morning to meet a couple from Scotland, they had contacted us through a relative and were members of Rotary International.  They had booked to come on holiday and then been told by their club to take lots of photographs of charity work over here.  We met in the courtyard outside the hotel and then went down to Nemasu to show them around.  The school was in full swing when we arrived, and we went first into the office to meet Mr Sallah, and then into each classroom in turn to see what the children were doing this morning.  Jolly phonics was the subject in two classes and handwriting in the third.  We then went into the village to see where the children lived and how far the well team had got with the renovations. They have dug the extra depth needed as the well was drying up, and fashioned the cement rings to go down and the lid for the top, to enable a pump to be fitted.  The village children followed us through the village, grabbing our fingers and trying to hold hands.  We returned to the school and then went on to visit Naata as we had some more goods to deliver.  It was break time when we arrived, and the children greeted us in their usual fashion, shaking hands and then trying to hold on, stroking our skin and looking at jewellery.  We met all the class teachers and looked at the classrooms before leaving and making our way back home.  We relaxed at home with Ruth and John in the afternoon and then watched a film after dinner in the evening
