First Day

Yesterday morning, Esther set off on a new adventure here in Tanzania- and started school! She was very excited. She set off bright-eyed and proudly carrying her new school bag, complete with packed lunch:


At the gate, we paused for a moment, before entering through into a new environment, with new friends and new teachers.


Esther's classmates are mostly Tanzanian friends, with alot of Swahili being spoken, although the stories and teaching are in English. Her Nursery class is next to Reception class and the 2 classes have playtimes together, which is nice for Esther as she settles in, as she knows some of the other children from the MAF compound in Reception class.

Welcome to Esther's new school!

    We are so proud of you Esther. You look so grown up and can already say so much in Swahili! Really hoping that you make some more wonderful friends and enjoy yourself.
