First School Weekend 5 - St Pauls - Western Cape - Part 1

There is some magnificent scenery in this part of Africa. We wind our way through mountains and vineyards travelling  south east under stormy sky's to our first school of the day St Pauls, 61 pupils and 4 teachers.

 

As we arrive through the gates the children greet us and shake a few hands along the way... they were very excited to see the sponsors and followed up the drive to help start unloading the equipment from the vehicles.

The fact that this school had computers was a new one for me and a surprise... all the schools I'd been to previously had nothing on the I.T front... It looked like this place was heading in the right direction and developing into a well equipped learning centre.

Its quite a small room as we all try and squeeze in. There's lots of decoration around the walls.. The farm scene model in the foreground is indicative of the landscapes surrounding the school, obviously very talented happy children here as they introduce themselves in English and then Afrikaans.

 Some of the younger pupils read to the group from a book delivered by the Rally the previous year as a proud teacher watches.
