In 2020 was my most recent visit and 5th since 2006. It is always a incredible experience to return to Tafo and visit everyone involved in these projects!
My most recent trip was just a few weeks but was fantastic to meet many of the students i taught when they were teenagers - now making it in the real world - in a variety of careers - from teaching, skilled tradesmen such as mechanics and carpenters and many starting their own businesses. We even have some making a career in football; as players, coaches and even a famous commentator!!
It was also a joy to meet some of our new younger children just beginning their pathway with UVO. As always this is the highlight, spending time with kids with huge energy and spirit!!
I also had pleasure to meet Irene for the first time as she was running afterschool clubs for girls - supporting them many ways at such an important time in their lives. It was great to agree to support Irene in these endeavours and commit to provide financial support for this project!
Massive thanks to Chris, Eric, Albert and others for hosting me!!
