Today I visited another school. My roommate is in the HIV/AIDS awareness program and so while she and her team spoke with the students I had the opportunity to speak with the Head Master. Our conversation was very informative, for the both of us. We spoke about the lack of funding and the various challenges the school faces in their efforts to provide education. It is a private school, but regardless the available funding and resources are scarce. This is a great example of how you cannot assume that "Private" schooling means adequate facilities and good quality education - this is not always the case. After graciously offering me a cold drink and cookies he gave me a tour of the school. The school does have a computer lab - but the computers are very old (25 yrs old or older) and not all are working. Building of the school library has been suspended due to lack of funds since 1998...yes 1998! Over 10 years! This is a picture of what is suppose to be the school library.
