ready for a new day and more know how

I am a self-appointed teacher and the students are sitting with big eyes when I ask: "How many people have internet?" No hands in the air. "How many have seen the internet?" - Two hands in the air. How many believe they can learn something from the internet? - All hands up ...

 

I will stand for five hours and teach quest for information, before I go over to; Learn to create a blog, combine it with facebook, look at Twitter, find stuff on  Wikipedia, a look at a web shop, and start with information flow from the refugee school to the world. It is people on the internet and I aim to get the refugees from Eritrea and Ethiopia on that web. Understanding the communication, language, facts for schoolwork, publishing, and the dream that one of them one day sell a coffee pot from home. The coffe pot that is handmade, which I saw at the fire. Who I held in my hand and I know that the fine ladies from London will  purchase for  49, Euro -

They are  900 children and youths and they are pushed into an area that fits for 200.  I've said it before. Say it again: it is the will, focus on homework, and dreams. Big dreams and hope.

Dreams under a bamboo roof. 43 degrees. Sand in the air and sand on the floor.

They have escaped because they had to. Some managed it, and they sit in front of me here in Karthoum. History of those who failed is so sad that I'll hide it to next year.

I coils to last quarter, all have created a blog, or a start on one. All have made a  Facebook profile, all have found info, facts and photos for school entries. They do not have internet, but has promised me on the faith and honor, that the blog is updated every week from an internet cafe that is near. They are good at solutions.

And I have promised that we work together to try and find 120 Euro after about 6 months of blogging. 120 Euro provide internet connection for the entire school for one year.

In the meantime, I dream that a coffe pot from Eritrea are sold to the ladies from London. I have one myself. The world's finest coffee jar.
