Katempris

En primary school i Kagera

Katempris er en skole for børn fra 3 års alderen. Hvert år vokser skolen med en ny klasse så nu i starten af 2020 er der børn i pipi 1 pipi 2 som er de to børnehaveklasser. Samt 5 grundskoleklasser. de ældste børn er dermed omring 10 -11 år.

Hver morgen kører du med skolebussen til skolen og arbejder sammen med en lærer i en af klasserne. Engelsk niveauet er meget højt på skolen så det er nemt at undervise da eleverne forstår alt hvad du siger :-)

En dag om ugen skal du ikke arbejde, men besøge en anden skole og se hvordan de underviser der.

Du er med til at bestemme hvad du skal undervise i.

Du bor på sunflower som ejes af Anne og Brighton Katabaro som ejer og kører skolen.

På Sunflower deler i værelse 2 og 2 og i har eget bad og køkken og en anneks som går ud mod haven. Der er nu også mulighed for at bo i "Crazy House" som er bygget oven på en container udenfor, begge værelser i Crazy house har bad og så er der en lille terasse :-)

Sunflower ligger 10min gang fra midtbyen og der er 20 min til Sunset hvor der også bor volontører.

We hope that you will find it useful, and feel welcome to contact us if you have any questions!

Important things to bring to Kayanga:

For the girls: tampons and pads, a menstruation cup is also really nice as there is often no water or any trashcan
Sunlotion and aftersun
Flashlight
