This week saw a visit from Laurens from the Dutch organization “Voluntary Worldwide.“ We have been in communication with this organization for a while, with the idea being to work with them in receiving
volunteers. In this way, we would
hopefully have a steady stream of volunteers thereby enabling the children and
teachers to have even more exposure to different techniques and English
speakers.
All has gone very well – so we are hoping to formalize it
all in the very near future and start receiving volunteers mid March.
In addition, this week saw the proper start of the nursery
Oormifa class – previously, due to a lack of a separate teacher, the Amharic
and Oromifa class have simply learnt in the same classroom , with those who
want to learn in Ooromifa being taught in that language.
However, it has appeared that this is unsatisfactory for the
regulations and as a result, we have been forced to separate the classes, with
the assistant teacher going across to teach Ooromifa leaving the teacher alone
in the class of 25 which is a little too much for one as the pupils are only
young.
We are on the lookout for a new assistant teacher, but it is
difficult at this time of year to find someone – so fingers crossed!
