Images & videos from Pakati 2024

Posted on by Friends Of Pakati

Hi everyone, welcome to the Friends of Pakati blog!

As I mentioned in my most recent post https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/11/21/interview-with-mr-chadenga/ I have still got quite a few pictures & videos from my recent visit to Pakati schools in October this year. Below is a selection of some of them.

The time spent at the school involved a handover ceremony, with local dignatories as well as staff & students of both schools plus parents. It also included the actual arrival of the recently donated IT, which arrived a day later than hoped for. These images are a mixture from the two days, Tuesday & Wednesday 8th & 9th October.

The students speaking at the event are from Pakati Primary school, and the dancees are from the Secondary school.

Coming soon…

Soon we will discuss the issues raised in the following two posts: https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/11/01/pakati-2024-podcast-3/ & https://friendsofpakati.com/2024/11/09/follow-up-to-2024-podcast-3/

We are looking to raise funds to.help both schools with power & wi-fi so they can get the most out of the recently donated IT.
