Mathieu: the green thumb in 3 minutes (July- August 2010)
“As part of a training abroad, I spent two months as a volunteer at the school in Orwetoveni in Namibia. Far away from the wonderful postcard landscapes, I discovered some disadvantaged areas as well as rough and ready shelters. The nursery school of Peri Naua appears like a colored island in the middle of a sea of steel sheets.
My mission was centered on two main axes: teaching dental hygiene and developing a pedagogical vegetable garden. It took much less time for the children to become familiar with their toothbrush than the time it took me to succeed in working a very small piece of land! We also found enough time to build an outside game structure.
I consider that this project of the nursery school is a success story. This is mainly due to the daily work of Monique, as well to the punctual assistance of the volunteers specialized in the training of teachers. The mistresses like the children and are eager to learn and to be trained.
For me, this experience was very enriching because I had the opportunity to meet and converse with people of different culture. I can strongly advise any interested person (with or without pedagogical background) at rush in this human adventure. I will never forget the smile and the joy of living of these children. I am making a point of thanking Monique and Nathalie for their warm hospitality and their actions for the benefit of the organization.”
