Visiting the Schools

We spent the first few days going around the local area visiting the schools everyone will be working at after the 2 week summer vacation.

Simon's Town school was built in the 1950s and has 500 students from ages 5-19.  Above is a picture of the hostel, where a few dozen students stay.  8 World Teach volunteers are working and living at that school this sumer.  Siomon's Town school gets money from the local maratime community, with the understanding that many of their graduates will be trained for and go into the Naval services.

Marine Primary school is where I will be working at a camp during the 2 week summer vacation.  This school is in Ocean View and has mostly "colored" students.  This school feeds into the Ocean View Secondary School (where I will be working for the final 5 weeks).

Ocean View Secondary School!  My future school!  More info to come!

Masiphumelele High School is a "no fee" school that services the black township of Masiphymelele.
