My first lesson was teaching about continents. They have no world maps so I was glad I took the inflatable globes!

I stayed with the principal for 5 weeks. Her house was very nice and she was a relatively wealthy member of the village. The house had electricity but no running water. I had to get water from a big tank in the garden and heat it on a paraffin heater. If I wanted to wash my hair this meant getting up at 4am!!! There was no bathroom and the toilet was a pit loo at the end of the garden.

This was a typical meal.
Vegetarian sausage
Fried onions and spinach
Mashed pumpkin
Tomato gravy
Pap
And good old tomato ketchup

I had lots of dreams about falling into the pit loo!!!
