Next to our day-job working on the iNeSI project we also reach out to the local community. Yesterday we visited the Bophelong special school, a school for children with special needs. Verbal communication was difficult since we do not speak their language and some of them cannot easily speak. However, there are other ways to make contact and we had a good time by playing games. Aruna learned them Namaste and we helped them color the map of the world, showing where we are all from. As the principal of the school remarked: ‘love and kindness are never wasted’.
