Village life in Tetako 3


Children enjoyed their extended break, but with no play facilities, swung on the water pump around the school bore hole, ran among the foundations of proposed new classrooms, still awaiting completion four years later or gazed at the adults’ meeting.





I admired the patience and dedication of the teachers, the oldest nearing retirement after working in schools in several nearby villages for decades, the youngest two newly trained and maintaining their enthusiasm in the face of minimal resources and a remote, unfamiliar location.
