Reading

Metaha

The children came in big numbers last Friday. They were divided in groups and were given story books to read. They made turns so that everyone can have chance to read a paragraph. Children enjoyed to discussed what they read and everyone could understood the story. This is also an opportunity to look up the difficult words in the dictionary.

The Omapitiro weyuva is contributing to the development of the learners by helping to create a habit of reading among the orphans and vulnerable children.

Reading aloud for everyone to follow the story is helping the children to pronounce and understand better.

This was real team work.

The second school term started. Children are back from holiday. Blaundina had to pay school fees from school to school. She also had to buy toiletries for one boy who helped at the garden during the holiday. The boy had no hope to go back home after the death of his mom because he knew that nobody will give him money to pay for school fees and toiletries.

On Friday, the Omapito Weyuva girls and boys played volleyball. It was real fun as the event was held at a bigger area, where everyone participated.

Balancing the gender, girls also joint the volleyball team.

School holiday

Metaha

It is school holiday as from the 15th April until the 16th May 2011. The children went home and there are no classes during this period.

However, not everyone is fortunate to have somebody who cares. One boy who is struggling to find himself after his mother's death, is keeping on coming to the Red Cross office requesting for assistance during this time.

One wish to have solutions for different problems which the children are facing but sometimes children are rather encouraged to work in order to earn something for themselves.

The videos on the computer class will be found at the side of this blog page now.
