Wednesday 16

School starts at 8 so we get up early to see the children arrive for their first day at school.

The youngest are 5 and the oldest are 10 and within all this age range this may be their first day at school. However this being Africa registration does not take place right on the dot and there is a trickle of parents bringing their children to school and this will last all day. Many will be walking for miles and we witness some being turned away because the school is full.
