Hello everyone!
We are delighted to share that after nearly 5 days of travel to Namibia, we were blessed with 5 days of unforgettable events in this beautiful country. After a night of sleep at the CGE Guesthouse in Windhoek, we departed the next morning for northern Namibia, along with two students from the University of Namibia. Our first stop was at the National Institute for Educational Development (NIED). We learned of the country’s plan to implement a national curriculum, the role of languages in education, the subjects that are taught in school, and the struggles and successes they have found in their pursuit to provide inclusive, quality education.
Before leaving, we stopped at the local woodcarvers market, where many people were selling carved wooden animals, bowls, and instruments. As we continued the drive, Pasat pointed out springbok, warthogs, and giraffe along our route. We stopped for a picnic lunch along the way and arrived at the Etuna Guesthouse in Ongwediva that evening. We ate a delicious meal and prepared for the mini conference before saying good night.
Thank you for following our adventures, we are happy to share them with you!
