The+School

The school has been visited by friends from Tasmania in 2007 and 2008. They have sung songs, taught games and dances and read stories. || The money for children's books and pencils comes from their friends in Tasmania. || Each morning begins with some prayers and songs outside. || There are over 100 children who attend the school each day. They have 4 classrooms with about 25 children in each one. Some children begin school when they are only 3 if their brothers or sisters bring them along.
