The new notice boards we had arranged for Naata in the Xmas
holidays have been a big success and so we had decided to do the same thing at
all 5 of our schools. This weekend it is the
turn of Nemasu, and so Steve, Fiona and I set off in the morning to buy the
boards and the other equipment needed for the job. We arrived and met the caretaker who opened
the school for us and helped unload the wood from the truck. Before we can organise the painting we had to strip the posters off the walls. Some of the posters have been applied with
paste and are stuck like wallpaper, and so we had to send for scrapers to
finish the job. Steve went off to source a small generator so he can use an electric drill tomorrow. Fiona and I spent most of the day
wetting the posters and scraping them off, hot and dirty work! We finished class 1 first and then the caretaker and his friend set about painting Fatous classroom ready
for the new boards. Steve had managed to
buy a small generator to use with his power drill tomorrow, and so he returned
to collect Fiona and I to take us home.
We arrived back dirty and dusty and met up with Sheila, so a shower
and change and we went into Kololi for a late lunch/early dinner at the
Lebanese restaurant. After a leisurely meal we called into the craft market to look for souvenirs and then went back home, we chose
a film and settled down for the evening.
