Happy Commonwealth Day! Commonwealth Day is the second Monday
of March and is celebrated in 53 countries around the world. The commonwealth
is headed my Queen Elizabeth II of England. At Modisi Primary School we
celebrated by each grade level performing songs and dances, I gave a speech,
and then the kids did a variety of sporting activities.
Later in the week the Psychology club from the University of
Botswana came to Modisi to lead a workshop on effective teaching methods for
the teachers. The purpose of the club is to engage the students with rural
communities and provide a practical application for the material they learned
in class. One of the guys in the club is from Moshana and I am hoping he will
continue to be involved at Modisi and encourage the students to take their
education seriously.
Peace Corps Botswana has a committee “Peer Support and
Diversity Network” which I applied to and this week I found out that I have
been selected for. The main
purpose of this group is to offer mental health support to other volunteers.
Mental health is a passion of mine and I am extremely excited for this
opportunity.
