waiting patiently...........

for the caregiver to arrive.

This morning I took the three visitors together with my colleague to Rumphi to visit one of the Early Years centres. It was raining in the early morning and was really quite cold so we found these four children waiting for the caregiver to arrive! This is quite common here with children arriving before the caregiver and waiting all on their own......... As you can see, the place was not in great shape for children, very dirty and no play materials!

Mind you, when the caregiver did arrive and we observed her for a while, she was doing rote learning with the children to 'impress the visitors'! I was not impressed!!
