Hi Everyone!
Welcome to this review of the first 6 months of 2024, which I have to admit has not been as productive this year as previously. However, there have been several highlights, & this is what has been going on here at Friends of Pakati.
We started out with this post in January https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/01/20/welcome-to-friends-of-pakati-in-2024/
We next heard from Mr Chifaka, the former Head of Pakati Secondary, about his new appointment to Macheke High School https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/01/29/former-pakati-head-at-his-new-school/
Now & then I get updates & reports from Pakati, including this from the Secondary School https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/02/04/pakati-secondary-school-early-in-the-first-term-2024/
From time to time, I reminisce about my experiences at Pakati & around Zimbabwe, and discuss Friends of Pakati. Here are two such blog posts this year so far

Other local Primary schools have kept in touch after benefitting from Friends of Pakati in 2022 https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/02/25/chanetsa-mapanga-primary-schools-reporting-updates/
Pakati Secondary school lost a former Chairman of the School Development Committee (SDC), Mr William Dzimauta. He was very much respected by the local community.
