A look around

Well here we are at the school. Let's take a look around ...

This is a view from the football field, showing most of the buildings.

The new girls' dormitory. It's nearly finished - hopefully by Monday afternoon. Some of the girls have already taken up residence because there is no room in the old dormitory.

Our palatial residence; no joke, it is much grander than anything in the area. We have all the Western conveniences minus a microwave and a spa! Three bedrooms, so there is room for visitors (hint, hint).

The old dormitories. Bursting at the seams and soon to become a "boys only" zone.

The teaching block. Each class has their own room and the teachers move on the bell, not the classes.

The school has five automatic lawn mowers - here is two of them.

When you have automatic lawn mowers and you plant new trees ... you need a good strong surround to allow their early growth. Not very aesthetic, but effective.

The neighbours.

The current teaching staff, although more will be needed after Form 1 arrives next week. So there you go, welcome to our world for the next 11 months. It's exciting yet challenging. The welcome has been very positive and we feel accepted into the school community. Swahili term for the day; "pole pole" meaning "slow down, you move too fast ..." (courtesy of Simon & Garfunkel). Post you later.
