In February Anna from Germany visited us at Mahenzo School. She brought a E-Piano and some flutes to teach classes 1 and 2. The children really enjoyed it. At the end they had a little concert infront of the whole school. After this project the piano and flutes will be relocated to other schools so that other children can also learn and express themselves musically.
In January we offered a workshop for our farmers and communities. The topic was permaculture which helped them understand a more natural concept of farming activities.
