UK teachers get cooking... slum style


[News post for charity Child of Hope]

On the last day for Lucy Swift and her team from the UK, they went into the local community to cook a meal for some families of our children. Here’s what Lucy said in her blog

“… Then followed an amazing experience. The welfare team had arranged for the four of us to go into the community and to cook for some of the children and the parents just how they do. This included all the preparation including the lighting of the charcoal fire, the sorting of the rice, the sweeping of the house, chopping the meat and vegetables and washing the dishes.

“After 3 hours of hot, hard work to produce a small meal to feed a family of 15 it helped us understand more how hard work it is living in the community of Namatala and even more how easy we have it!”

The team did a fantastic job working with out teachers and teaching assistants - lessons well learned and new systems firmly in place. This kind of professional input makes a huge difference to the effectiveness and social impact of our school. Thank you so much!
