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.
