This past Thursday, we took a break from school and visited Grey Junior, Kama Primary, and the Ubomi Obutsha Center--this is a center that offers youth programs and has a preschool for kids that range in age from 2-6. The Grey website is located at http://www.greyjunior.co.za/

They are a public school, but their students pay school fees. It's an all boys school that goes up to grade 7. The difference between Grey and Emafini is striking. The headmaster, Mr. Pearson, talked very openly and honestly about the differences in his school and a school like Emafini. The empty classroom in the photo above is part of a new addition to the building.

At Kama, we met with principal  Olafante. She says that she is going to retire next year. If she does, her leadership will be missed. She has been working steadily to get new computers, desks, and chairs for her  students.
