Matilda sent us this update for December last week. We always love hearing from her. Lovely news about the sporting achievements! I've put a few explanations in brackets and italics where that might be useful.
Dear Tanzanear Chairperson and Comittee Members,
In December there was some issues which happened at the school. The pupils were on Holidays and the school was quiet, but still there were issues as follows.
1. The Ministry of Education organised a National atheletics games which involved all Primary schools in the country to select
nice players to go to Kibaha Coast Region to compete. Twenty deaf pupils from our school were chosen. Those who live in Dar es salaam.
Our pupils from Dar es salaam did the best. They were awarded nine silver medals and a cup. This achivement was the result of
Tanzanear who gives us a lot of different plays (African term for sports or play equipment) and it makes the pupils fit. Thank you Tanzanear.
2. In December there is lady known as Shekha (A Tanzanian friend of the school, who is an estate agent in Dar es Salaam, and who has helped the school for three years now) gave to the pupils some clothes, an old printer which still needs her help and
75,000 Tzs. which will buy milk and eggs for the Boarding pupils. We thank her.
3. On the 10th December The HARK Board met under the Chairman Mr. Hamza Kasongo and nice programes were discused (see http://www.sound-seekers.org.uk/our-work/hark-projects/ for more details)
to make our pupils happy when they get ear diseases not to stay in long lines at Muhimbili ENT but to be attended at once.
And also they talked about deaf adults how to attend them. The meeting was done at Buguruni School for the deaf.
I expect that we'll get an update from Umivita soon, and I'll post that too. Here's a random photo, just for interest:
It is Matilda in the school farm, with a massive breadfruit. It's not a very good picture of Matilda, actually, but it is a great picture of the breadfruit.
