Mabadiliko and things

I met a really interesting woman today in Mbeya. Her name is Liz, late 40s early 50s she has her own organization called EveryChildEveryVillage. Their main goal is to reduce primary schools' dependence on books. She sees that books are a great asset, but it isn't working to rely on the rest of the world supplying them to schools in Africa. So she goes into classrooms and paints all over the walls, turns them into blackboards at eye level to the little pupils. It's a totally interactive class setting where you get a student working and learning at one station and then move diagonally across the room to another station at the wall. She says that it's been showing amazing results, even though she was an RN and doesn't have formal education, in well Education. In stories, I mentioned that I had been a film major and wanted to get a media project going at Kayuki Girls. She may be our first "job" First I need to train the students how to use a digital camera, tripod and, finally how to cut slide shows on the computers we have at school. It seems like such an awesome project. I only wish I had more time to do these things rather than be mostly a Physics teacher *YAWN* ya know. I'm trying to make it interesting so maybe I can just work it in to my physics club. Hey I just had an epiphany...
