Model School, Herrero’s Day and Okahandja Market Day

Model School, Herrero’s Day and Okahandja Market Day This past week was consumed with “Model School” where we were teaching Namibian students during their break to simulate the Namibian classroom and to practice teaching. It went well – my lessons focused on human rights, democracy and peace. My students were amazing! The 7th grade class held a very high-level debate regarding whether education or not education should be free and compulsory. The students inspired me! The Herrero’s Day, in which Namibia celebrates its independence and honors those that died during the struggle, was rescheduled for this weekend. Saturday was also the Peace Corps small enterprise development Okahandja Market Day. The Peace Corps volunteers are partnering with local entrepreneurs to help them develop their business. The day was a success with a lot of creative business ideas, strong attendance and a lot of fun! Below, you will see photos of the beautiful sky here, a photo of Okahandja, and 2 photos of Market Day.
