At Pakati…finally!

Day 1 – from Harare to Pakati

I arrived at Pakati on Thursday 26th September, after a journey of around 2 hours from Harare, via Musami.

As I arrived at the school signpost I was warmly greeted by members of the Njenje family.

I then proceeded to the Secondary school, where I was greeted the the staff and students. We took the goods into the staffroom, then unrwapped them all.

We then set up one of the PC’s to check things were working ok

Delighted to see that every item arrived safely. Then everything was safely stored in the Administration block, ready for the celebration event next day and the setting up of the goods at both schools ready for use.
