In Molepolole
In Molepolole now. It is one of the biggest villiage sin Botswana with a population of around 60 thousand people. Im living with a family of four, 2 grandpaarents, their son, and grandson in a traditional style home similar to the one pictured below.
While in Molepolole I will be working at a local Elementary School of 888 students. The classrooms are sadly overcrowded, with as much as 60 students in one class or two classes sharing the same room. The biggest problem is the toilets, there are only 6 for 888 students and the faculty. While here I hope to help teach and complete their library. It is only about 10' by 16' and is mostly empty. Corporal punishment is still leagal in Botswana, and its not unusual for students to be punished by being beaten.
I hope to post more soon with pictures of family
