1) Some of the teachers may recognize Mr. Kavari. He visited Minter Creek about 8 or so years ago along with Mr. Tjivikua, when they were with the Ondao project. While visiting, his daughter was born back in Opuwo. He named her, Paula, and she is Paula's god-daughter. We hadn't seen her since she was 1. Kavari went and pulled them out of school so we could see her before we left. Here's Paula and Paula, Mr. Kavari and his youngest daughter, Penny.
2) We gave the letters from Mrs. Stone's class to Karla, the Opowu lodge manager's daughter. She is in 4th grade. We've known the manager, Chino, since 2003 and since he has access to internet, we thought we'd be able to find out how the kids liked the letters. Karla took them to school the next day.
3) The students enjoyed buying Himba bracelets and necklaces.
