Monday was a busy day because we found out the switch was faulty and so the lesson that evening was a lot different because we didn't have the server.
Tuesday we carried on the lessons as usual, but again without the server.
Wednesday evening Will and Harriet arrived and we got them something to eat and showed them around.
Thursday we went to Freetown with Yayah for them to exchange money and get phones etc. Will didn't like Freetown because of the amount of people asking you for stuff.
Friday morning at 5am James and Harriet travelled out to Magbeni (one of the schools upcountry). So then there was just me and Will left in Lumley.
What it's all about
On April 20th, I will be travelling to Sierra Leone to spend 3 months as a volunteer with Educaid, a charity that provides an education to some of the poorest and most disadvantaged children in the world. I have spent the last two months working on developing some IT facilities for the schools, which will be particularly helpful to the older students, and will be installing a small network of donated laptops, hopefully with some satellite internet access, as my first task when I arrive. I will then help teach basic IT skills to the students.
