Anne: from tourist to volunteer (July-August 2013)

“Far from the dunes of Sossusvlei and from Etosha national Park, which I fell in love as a tourist last year, I discovered another face of Namibia during these six weeks that I spent at the school of Peri Naua in Otjiwarongo.

Here, one sings, one learns, one speaks English, one listens, one shares, one plays, one follows the rules, and one grows. Those children, who do not seem to have much, are rich of a life to build in a country that has still to grow.

Ihemba, Charliza, Betuel, Angela, Prince, Romanda, Eshuel and all the others, the Namibia of tomorrow is You. As a teacher, here in France, I would like to have learners like you, respectful and eager to learn, generous. Every morning, after having straddled my bike to swallow a few miles that separated me from the school, I have, as best as I could, helped the teachers already well trained by the work of several previous volunteers: refining the evaluations and progressions, proposing activities for children in need, providing new activities, such as writing a story, making a book… So, BRAVO Peri Naua, thousands of thanks to Monique Escurat, the head of the school and my host during those six weeks for her hospitality and her daily investment. Thank you to Peri Naua, that allowed me to live a unique experience, rich in encounters, humanity, sharing and discoveries!”
