With a weeping eye back from Namibia to Luxembourg!
After months of volunteering in Oponganda/Namibia, time for my "farewell".
Thanks to Granny Aupair my long term dream to travel and visit this country came true.
There was no doubt, it had to be a Social Project, so it was.
Upon arrival I found an intermediate project to fill the vacation month of December.
With school start in January I plunged into an incredible unique adventure paired with enormeous personal learning benefits.
Oponganda as a Montessori oriented Pre-Primary School from about todddlers age onwards provides a premium educational opportunity for children of less favorite environemet in this country. It would fill many pages to describe the volume of my impressions.
The children grow quickly to one's heart and their hopeful eyes will ever be with me. The warm and hearty acquaintance of all teachers made it possible to handle the more stressful moments with a good portion of humor. With my 71 years of age and still full of energy I will never forget the children, the wonderful peole, the vast empty land and my new friends.
I highly, full flesh confidentially recommand every Granny to keep going and explore this adventure, Nambia's highlights add to it all. I will certainly come back one day!
