A Sad Day for the Secondary School in Chongoene

So, sadly, the school that i work at was broken into last night and 11 computers were stolen from the computer room and secretarial offices. I found out this morning when i got to school. Apparently those rooms were not properly locked and the guard has not been around for a while. The school and the guard have apparently had some issues lately. Rumor has it that they were not paying him as much as they should have. It seems as if some information was passed around secretly too because its too coincidental for thieves to show up two days after the guard decides not to come back. The local police are apparently looking into it, but i would be surprised if they recovered anything or brought in any suspects. Its really a shame for the kids too since i had just started giving them computer classes three weeks ago. This is a really frustrating event because being computer literate is a huge advantage in the working world and i think that its an important step in development also. Its just so unfortunate that the kids had an opportunity to learn something really valuable and now that opportunity has been taken away from them. Im not sure what the next steps are, but computers are so expensive and are definitely not something that the school can afford right away. Anyway, school today was kind of a drag since everyone was bummed out about the robbery. This afternoon i went to the church with the volunteer group that i have been working with there and we cut wood to use to cook with for am upcoming celebration. I thought the hot days of summer were behind up but i was wrong! Yesterday and today were in the upper nineties and boy was it hot. Thats all for now. Not the most exciting or uplifting report today, but sometimes thats just how it goes.
