Speaking English?!?!

Hello All! I just received an email from Maeza at Kechene and I thought I would include it below. Her English is improving greatly, but as you can tell she still has many many years to go! This is extremely sad that the girls at Kechene's English is so bad as all their textbooks are in English after grade 6, but have never had anyone teach them the language. This translates into many children attending school but learning nothing because they've never been given the tools to assist them in their education.

Nonetheless, it was fun and interesting to read. It seems that I will get a picture of Bamlie presenting flowers to the Presidents! And also that she is speaking English with the girls! Very big step and darling at the same time!

Well that's it for today. Wish I had more information but this will have to last for a few days :(

"Hell0 sweety!!!
