During this 6 months program, we have the possibility 2 times for travelling: 1 for Holiday and another week for Investigation week. I used my investigation week for visiting Humana EPF (Teacher Training College) projects in Inhambane and Gaza to make a survey with some of the EPF students about their basic knowledge of Health (HIV / Malaria / Diarrhea / Nutrition). I also used this possibility to get to know the other DI projects.
First I went back to Inhambane - where I enjoyed Miguel's company (and help) again.
Here, the Teacher Training College is new, they built it only 2-3 years ago. The campus and the classrooms are done, but they are just have been finishing the construction of the administration building. There are only 90 students here (compared to the other EPF schools, where there are twice as much as here). I prefered this smaller headcount, it felt more like living in a big family where everybody knows everybody.

EPF Inhambane The EPF students live in a queite nice circumstances in these new houses (only 15km away from the beach). The only problem about this place, that the people who choosed this land for building a school, they forgot about the rainy season: that time, they got 30-40cm water - they have to walk in the water from their houses to the classrooms...
EPF students' housesMiguel - the DI here - helps the teachers in the daily work too, but his main job is teaching "computer literacy" for the students. He must have lot of patience, because for most of these students (age of 18-22) this is the first time seeing computer: they don't know what the Windows is, how to use the mouse or how to make capital letters... They make all the tests, and homework on paper. Miguel's goal is teach all of his student how to write their reports in Word and giving a very basic knowledge of Excel & Power Point. This requires lots of patience from him (all my respect to him). On the other hand it pays off when you see them to be interested in it and enthusiastic. And they learn fast.
There is also another project here: The Child Aid. The name of the project is misleading, the project deals more with the parents and the community than the children. The DI's here work on income generation projects - mainly farming. Right now there is no volunteer here, the next DI will come in August, so Miguel showed me around here too...
Thank you Miguel again for your help & guiding! ;)
