Teacher at Pakati since 2010

I enjoy life at Pakati Secondary School because it is simple. Expenses associated with life in urban areas, for example water bills and rent, are minimal at our school. There is plenty of land for the teachers to carry out subsistence farming and this helps us a lot. Life was made even better in 2018 when electricity was connected to the school. Furthermore, since our school is in the countryside, we enjoy seeing some nature, for example some mountains, rivers and even snakes, though they can be dangerous.
