African School visit worth several conferences

E-learning Africa Conference - presenting a session in Lusaka last week. My wife comes for the trip, and sets up a few day's teaching exchange in a Lusaka orphanage school run by SOS Childrens Villages. On day 2: "come to this school with me you will learn more than at a hundred conferences"

Similarly the books. There aren't enough pencils for each child to work simultaneously. But there is an internet link and PC in the director's office. The CD player sits in the director's office.

However, the kids are wonderful
