TAFCOM's new primary school

Jonas, who founded TAFCOM with his wife, Nia, took us out to see their new school, which has been open for only a few months. While the first location has a preschool class and kindergarten class, the new school currently has 2 classrooms with one level 1 class (these students were in the kindergarten class last year). The plan is to continue building and add a new class each year. 

Everything is done by hand. They first needed to dig a well - 14 meters deep- in order to have water for the construction. 

We visited the classroom and I made them a duct tape ledge for the chalkboard and taught a math lesson to the kids using our supplies. 

The children in all of the classrooms are extremely polite and well behaved. I invited students up to share their answers and set up the next problem. We have been giving high 5s to kids when they get something correct and Owen and I had to demonstrate it fr them at first!
