Some Namibian Students
Hi Students at Solomon Schechter:
I am glad to hear you have received the aerogram I sent from Namibia! I hope you will find this information interesting.
For Your Information (FYI): Namibia celebrated "Human Rights Day" today, Fri, November 10. Unfortunately, the other Peace Corps volunteers and I, as well as our Namibian trainers, had to work.. no rest for the weary. I am not aware of any special ceremonies or ways of celebrating the holiday.. but I'm sure the reason Human Rights Day is a holiday is partly to spread awareness about civil rights and respecting other people. Pretty nice!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy these two pictures. For two weeks, I have been a teacher at the Iihenda Junior Secondary School in Oshitayi, Namibia. This was for my colleagues and me to get some practice at teaching. The first picture is of one of the classes I've been teaching.
In January, I will get move to a new village and will get all new classes at a new school. I will live and teach there for two years. The name of that village is Omalala. And the second picture is of the school I'll be teaching at - Mvula Junior Secondary School.

I think that it is really cool that you are doing this, and from the picture it looks like you have a good bunch of kids. The school looks kind of small, is it like a one room school house? Are you (going to be) teaching one grade, or a few grades together in one class? In the photo it is hard to tell. I really appriciate what you are doing for these Namibian students.

Hi Mr.Reichel!
I had a few questions:
What grade/s are you teaching?
Are there a lot of kids in your class?
Are some of the grades combined?
Do you mostly speak to them in their language?
Is it hard to speak in their language?
I hope you had been having a good time in Namibia.

Dear Mr. Reichel,
When I looked at the picture, it looked like your students were having a lot of fun. I also saw that the wood on some of the desks and chairs had been chipped off. I understand Namibia is a more or less poor country, but does the government supply money for the school items to be bought? Or is the school a privately-funded school? Also, is the whole school in one classroom?

Mr. Reichel,
Are you teaching anything else besides science? Is it fun teaching? Did the weather change and get colder?

Hi Mr. Riechel, how is it? In About how many days/months/years will you be coming back ( if you know ) Do you have more than one class? how many periods are there in a day? when does school let out? When's Lunch? Could you assign us student-pen-pals (If your school has computer/internet access) Could you send us ( single )pictures of your students attatched to their name,history, and a little about themselves and their family? It would be great.
Thanks,

Dear Mr. Reichel
Happy New Year! I hope you are having fun in Namibia. How are the people there? Do you have to speak another language to communicate? What are you teaching to the class? When you come back from Namibia I hope you can come to Solomon Schechter and tell us what happened there.
Have Fun!
From,
