We had all too short a time to visit the kids at the school. Return to school for nomads is an approximate date since many parents are out on their annual migration and students are given flexible return dates to accommodate their parents. 26 students had returned but more are on the way. All nine junior high students are continuing, but it has been a struggle for some–not used to living in a city or speaking French all the time…but they are hanging in there and trying to improve this year.

We were able to give the teacher, who is Rabi, our clinic director’s husband, a much desired computer donated by Kapadia Education Foundation

Pat gave Assadek (the school director) an i phone. Becky gave one to his wife Rabi. They say they are very spoiled–I hope they think that way since they are doing such a good job we really want them to stay. It is so difficult to get staff willing to live in such a remote place, but they seem to love it.
