On my trip to Vinho today, finding out about their soon-to-come-vacations, I proposed a summer holiday programme — a joint venture between us and the school. For the next 2 months, we’ll be running seminars 3 times a week with them – 1 on human rights, 1 on environment and 1 on health. They were already planning to plant trees (according to the Ministry of Education each child should plant a tree) and teaching children to plant machambas.
