There are 60 million people with a disability living in Africa, the vast majority of which are children.
It was a short trip to Mbeya – 4 days in total and a lot to pack in. The town sits nestled in the Mbeya highlands at 1,700m in altitude and has been often described as the ‘Scotland of Africa’. It was a truly beautiful sight as I landed at the airport just as the morning sun was rising over the hills – a great beginning to what would be an incredible visit on every level!
The first morning I spent visiting the current CST school, meeting the staff and the children. I was blown away by the passion of the staff, the impact the organisation was having and the combination of both learning and fun in the classroom environment. Each morning starts off with breakfast for the children and the staff, a morning assembly including lots of singing including the national anthem – a great way to start the day! After that the children head off to class with lessons including a combination of music, English and many other subjects.
