When embarking on my second trip to Ndali in summer 2012 I
felt much more prepared, I knew a lot more about what I needed and wanted to
do.
For a number of reasons I decided to focus my efforts on Aunt Susan’s
Primary School. A quick introduction to the school can be found here.
I had heard a lot about Aunt Susan’s during my first trip, but it wasn’t until I visited the school and met Susan and James that I realized just how impressive what they’ve achieved is. Their dedication to the school and it’s students is amazing, their love of teaching is palpable and it is clear that they will do anything within their means to improve the lives of the children they teach. Their resources are incredibly limited and the buildings they are using are far from satisfactory but this doesn’t seem to deter them.

My first visit to the school gave me just a
taste of what I could look forward to – I went with Aubrey to deliver various
supplies which had been donated by guests at the lodge. The balloons were
definitely a favourite, although I think they were slightly concerned that
Aubrey might pop one. More photos from this visit can be seen on our Facebook page.
