Good morning good people. We are within the fourth week. Last time I report on the roof that was blown away by strong winds. Using a deficit budget, the school management committee has managed to sum up little contributions made by learners. Each learner was asked to pay the user fee of K1000 almost the British Pound. Not all the learners paid. Today the rehabilitation work is in progress. See photos below.<\/p>\n

These kids live nearby, their guardians did not send them to school for learning, instead, the guardians sent these young girls to fetch water from the school\u2019s manual water pump.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • In Malawi you start school at age 6 and you are usually 14-15 when they leave<\/li>\n
  • There are 2471 pupils at Mikute School<\/li>\n
  • A typical start to the day consists of: sweeping, assembly and standing up to sing the national anthem.<\/li>\n
  • The children like to play netball, football and basketball.<\/li>\n
  • We had a tour of the school and saw how the building has been affected by a storm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
