New Headmaster


John Sichone is our new Headmaster at the Secondary School. He came back from retirement for this job, so is offering all his past experience in care and motivation for the staff and students. This is generating a positive atmosphere, particularly among the teachers, who appreciate his strong leadership.

During the last week Kevin taught a couple of lessons to the Form IV and I students. Normally his time is taken up with developing the computer project; upgrading computers, installing software, introducing and setting up equipment, as well as forward planning and writing reports. He found the teaching a challenge because of the students' limited understanding of English and his own limited Swahili, but he would do it again!

Since the electricity arrived in our house we have not had to spend so much time in Iringa at weekends. Being able to keep things cold in the fridge makes all the difference to planning our meals. As a result we are able to worship in the Church at Kilolo more often, and keep up with the increasing pace of study in preparation for the Bible Knowledge 'O' level mock exams in May.
