Friday 17 April - Day 25

I finally finished the minutes of the last meeting of trustees in London before I left. I have been very busy here. But I'm glad it's finally done and I hoping the internet connection here will handle the large files. It doesn't seem to be able to load the files. Inshallah!

I have been spending time with Hawa Touré in the Dianna English Language School and have agreed to one-off funding of her pilot programme including free English classes for 10-18 year olds at her new school in Dianna, very close to Abene. The classes start on Monday and will run for 6 weeks. Our funding will provide exercise books for the children to write in and boards to lean on to write.

I spent the morning today with the head teacher and other teachers at the primary school in Abene, called Alonda Djaban school. The head teacher is Atab Sise, and the other teacher in the meeting was Jené Bacary. The are very keen to support the assessment and work with me and have suggested a good contact who can introduce me to local leaders of groups in the area and we will meet again next week to discuss the local educational needs in more detail.

I hope to be able to write up a fuller report soon.
