Enkasiti School and the donation

After I made the donation in the orphanage, I still had 208 € left of the money I was given. That money I used for Enkasiti primary school I was working for in Kenya. Here's what the school got:

• a second hand computer
• 40 story books
  
• english dictionary and grammar reference book
  
• a world map

Why a computer? (They had a computer class, a computer teacher and even computer lessons in their timetable, but no computers.) It might not seem like something you'd prioritize when buying something for a school in a developing country. If you think about it more, you'll realise that it actually is very important to have a chance to learn how to use computers. As you know, it is already now very important to have basic computer skills no matter what you do for your living in Europe. Africa is getting there too, and the students who study in public schools that have no computers are beeing more and more left behind from the developement and will not be able to compete with students coming from other schools when they are applying for work of almost any kind. Here's the computer.









The story books will be used as teaching material in Swahili and English lessons. Students can also borrow the books to read just for fun, which will give the imaginative children (generation after generation) a chance to spice up their lives by reading many different stories. Here are some of the books.


















Here are some pictures of the students.

This was the toilet I was doomed to use for one month. It is proved now: one can get used to anything. Notice the hole on the floor, no seat.
