Anyway, Matilda sent us this encouraging update this week - we really hope you like reading it and that it makes you feel connected to the school. You'll see that there are some big changes happening with the school leadership (remember that Matilda is not the Head: she's the director) - we are hoping that this will be a new beginning for the deaf pupils in Dar es Salaam.
As always, a huge thank you to everyone reading for your interest and for your donations.

The meeeting was mainly on the Academic situation and the attitude of the Headteacher and the teachers.The school inspection showed that better co-operation is needed between the Headteacher and the rest of the staff.
