Four of our team members on our first day with students! The Jobortunity team treated the students to a circus act. LADIES AAAAAND GENTLEMAN, WELCOME TOOOO JOBORTUNITY!!!!! We introduced each other, shared a bit of strange information about each other and each of us did a magic trick (Kim can hold a spoon with her nose and Frida (mama Cook) is a great singer)! The students (and us!) really enjoyed it. After that it was time for the students to get to know each other, we had a very active introduction program.

Week 4, we can't believe how time flies. Students are doing well. They seem to get used to the terminology that Jobortunity is using: Portfolio, PDP (personal development plan), Self-reflection etc. Slowly but surely we see that they are getting the drift of things, especially by the (critical) questions they are asking. Great!

We've had our first guests as well. Magare and Aisla (from the Tanzanian band: Warriors of the East) came to help the students to put music to Jobortunity songs they've written. It was a team work and planning assignment which turned into four excellent songs! The songs have the following themes: A welcoming song (for guests, so please come visit us and the students will sing it for YOU!), a birthday song, the Hi5 song and our Jobortunity song. It was great fun and of course the afternoon ended with four excellent performances and after that Magare treated us to one of his own songs and everyone joined on the dancefloor! Pictures will follow!

Than we had a guest speaker from SIC (a local NGO) who came to speak with our students about HIV/Aids, causes and prevention. It was done in an interactive ways and everyone joined in the conversation/discussion and we had some laughs along the way as well, despite the seriousness of the topic.
