Friday 10th Otober

Today Dunc was due to leave us to head back to life in England but since his flight wasn't till 7pm that night we thought we would take the opportunity to visit the school at Lungi. Lungi is the peninsula opposite Freetown where the international airport is.

Lungi Primary was a school that used to have a lionk woith one of our schools. Unfortunately over the years the link faded. I think this is mostly due to lack of computer access and unreliable post. For this school to access the internet they must take the hour ferry crossing to Freetown and then find a internet cafe (which are quite unreliable) and then prepare for the hour journey back. Abit of a long haul really. We were warmly welcomed and the school was desperate for a new link but it will probably be difficult to manage.
