No break from lessons


July 4th, 2008

The group has now been to the school they are supporting - Bandawe Girls Secondary School. The plan is to spend a significant part of the rest of the stay visiting the school and getting to know new friends. And that means lessons! Zoe’s been in touch with the following:

“Interesting first day at the school, they are teaching us Tonga, the local language”

Now, for those who thought that Tonga was a Pacific island, then here’s your lesson for today. According to this article on Wikipedia (always to be read with reservations but useful nevertheless), the Tonga are an ethnic group believed to be from the northern part of Malawi.

Zoe also reports that it’s warm during the day, cold at night, everything’s interesting and there’s an awful lot to take in.
