Students in the lab



When I was at school, we didn't even have slide rules or calculators - we just used logarithmic, sine and cosine tables!

Now look what's happened in a part of Tanzania where access is difficult, electricity and running water haven't even reached our house, we use buckets for flushing the loo, for lighting we use candles, solar or kerosene, and a wood burner for cooking.

The school laboratory has twenty computers for students and teachers to learn skills, and teaching (by Martha) officially started two weeks ago. Kevin, as lab manager, keeps the whole thing operational.

What more can I say? I'll have to take a leap out of the dark ages...
