This week saw us taking a plane from Georgetown Noth West across hundreds of miles of rain forest to the edge of Region 7 near the Venezuelan border - to a tiny place called Kamarang. Here we were training teachers to teach literacy skills in a more inteactive way ...All the schools here are scattered across an amazing area of rivers and rainforest... and most of the teachers had to travel a fair way to reach Kamarang.
The teachers and children are exclusively Amerindian and are delightful to work with. The teachers are hardworking and so appreciative of us coming..They live a simple life...no cars, restricted food stuffs and electricity for just 4 hours in the evening.
The life is quiet and gentle here,but there is unemployment and men hang about the bars and stores...waiting for Godot!!
We intend to return several times over the next few months but travel is expensive and we have to secure the funding.
