Our Excellent Adventure - Zambia/Botswana Safari 2004
Day 8 - Aug 3 - Kawaza School

Safari start
return to Tena Tena

One of the options, available from RPS , was to visit a school and/or a village, rather than do a
game drive. Having a school teacher (Helen) and administrator (Chris) in our party, it was not a
decision that took much thought.

Kawaza School was built in 1932 and lies in the rural area of Chief Nsefu. Since 1988,
RPS has been working with the school to improve the standards of the buildings, access to
educational material and number of teachers. Many RPS customers have contributed in both
financial support and donation of teaching and sporting equipment. The school has become
overcrowded (494 students in 5 classrooms this year) and a new school is being built on the
other side of the open space.

These pictures show just how pleasant and rewarding the experience was.
