Jeanne: budding puppeteer (15 October 2013 – 15 June 2014)

Upon my arrival, the children have immediately adopted me. Voluntary, creative, and spontaneous, they have been a real driving for the step-by-step building of my project. Together, we have been working on a local story, manufacturing puppets, painting the sceneries, inventing the staging, and performing the show into a dozen school in the area. Each of the children have found his role and have known how to highlight it. Then, all of us (the teachers, the children and myself) had the opportunity to visit other pre-schools in the township. By comparing them to Peri Naua, we realized how our children were privileged, thanks to the educational material available, the quality of the teaching, but also thanks to the work of Monique Escurat on site and the dedication of the volunteers in France. It is this preliminary work that allows fifty children to go out of their difficult daily life and also that allows volunteers to live unique experiences. I keep only positive points from this year across the world, where the people are so simple and welcoming. Deep in myself, I know that I will always keep a space for Namibia and its warmth. Today, I would like to make of this experience, something very rich, both in human field and professionally.

Thousands of thanks for all.”
