Celebrating The Teachers!

The 5^th October 2014 was World Teachers’ Day!

When I went on the website http://www.worldteachersday.org I loved that the tagline for the day was “Invest in the future, invest in teachers”. That’s definitely something we believe in and want to celebrate!

Here’s what happened at Janna School (as told by our Gapette Cathy):

We were invited by Teacher Ireen to celebrate ‘Teachers Day’ at Janna School last Friday. Quite embarrassingly, we were twenty minutes late (thinking it wouldn’t start on time) and Dan got a call saying that they were all waiting for us!

We were seated at the very front on comfy sofas and the celebrations began. This consisted of every grade performing something for their individual class teacher, usually in the form of a poem, a song, a short theatrical production and of course…lots of traditional Zambian dancing - not quite what we were used to in UK primary schools!

It was a great day and a wonderful experience. If that was anything to go by, the 50^th Anniversary of Independence Day later this month is going to be unbelievable!

Check out some great photo's we got of the celebrations:
