Winter is coming to its end and there is a rise in temperature. After a short spring break the children are starting the last term of this schoolyear. Unfortunately the water situation in the country hasn’t improved;in Omaruru municipality water is only available for five and a half hours per day. So we put all our hopes in the coming little rain season…..

In July the girls could follow computer lessons at Siama. Some of them refreshed and increased their knowledge about PCs; the younger ones had their first contact with this medium. Big thanks to Namibia ProKind who sponsored these workshops.

Thanks to other generous donations we could buy a cosy lounge suit for the playroom where the girls can read books or watch DVDs on the weekends.

Beginning of August we’ve got visit from the Foundation: Betty and Els made all the way from the Netherlands to Namibia to come to Siama. The girls were really spoiled because they took them to visit a living museum in the Erongo mountains where San people (bushmen) show their traditionnal way of life. After that they had lunch at a Lodge and the next day we all went together to eat Pizza and icecream. We all spent a nice time together!
