Trying to do workshops with teachers during the most important exams of the semester was probably not the wisest move, but yours truly will definitely know better for next time:) I mentioned in an earlier post that I was observing lessons & giving feedback in the schools in my sector. I noticed that all schools had some common strengths & they also made the same "mistakes" - the areas for improvement were very similar! This is how I came to create the "Strengths & Weaknesses of Muhura Schools" which is about 2 1/2 hours long. So far I have facilitated this workshop at 3 schools with a fair amount of success (ie. nobody booed me or threw tomatoes at me) and hope to do 2 more this week. I say hope because schedules have a way of changing at last minute here (like 8:30pm the night before a workshop) but we just have to learn to take things slowly - buhoro, buhoro as they say here in Rwanda!
When I am not visiting schools in my area, I am often in Kigali sharing information (and good times!) with other volunteers. The picture above shows a group of the education volunteers deeply involved in their group activity....
