At the Dadani School in Zimbabwe (March 14, 2015)

In Zimbabwe, working with our Dadani

School. For those who never really believed in

"Pumba" in The Lion King, he really is real!  He

is alive and well and keeps the grass mowed

where we stayed at Lokuthola. 

Janco our guide delivered us safely to 

Zimbabwe (Zim) and we went directly to see

Kumalo at Dadani. Our shipment had not arrived,

but we had brought many other essentials for

them. We loaded 700 books on my Kindle and 

donated that to the library. Kumalo had never

seen such a thing but he very quickly caught 

on. He was very grateful. 

Kumalo thanked us for the Kindle and introduced

us to Nyasha, the bright new librarian who will

Organize the more than 3,000 books coming to

them. They have only one set of books for all

classes so each class must bring the books

back to the library for the next class to check 

them out. She can barely believe the books 

will come. 

Dadani has two paths. One for the academically 

inclined hoping to go on to college some day. 

The second path is vocational to help the 

children learn a skill so they can get a job. They 

are at this very moment building the vocational

building so the students can learn about food

and beverage industry, brick making and other

useable skills. In this video, the man is

hand making all the bricks to build the Vocational

Building.  Hard work but a useful skill.
