I can write............

In a country where illiteracy is still quite high especially among girls, I was delighted to find this little girl showing me how she could write.

Had a really relaxing day yesterday at the lake - swimming and enjoying the sun! This morning I was up early and went bird spotting - saw some amazing birds - weavers, vultures, fish eagle, and hammerkop among others. Another day relaxing and then in the early evening went to a nearby village where an old lady makes clay pots. They are used for keeping water cool in villages where there is no electricity. (Mind you the way our electricity provider is going these days, there will soon be no electricity anywhere!).

As I arrived at the village I found this child writing in her notebook - she was oblivious to what was going on around her. She has just started primary school and was eager to practice her writing skills.......long may it continue.
