Mozambique Travel Journal – Thursday 27th Jan 2005 (Part 7)
It was a very positive experience for me, because these students are happy to be in school and are making the most of the opportunity. I would love to set up a pen pal program between students in Australia and students at the Maputo High School. It would be a way for Australian students to support World Vision and become involved even if they can’t afford to sponsor a child or make any other kind of monetary contribution; it would help the Mozambican students with their English skills, and it would teach Australian students a lot about what an opportunity school can really be. I think that the passion that the Mozambican students have for their school and their future career ambitions might even rub off on Australian students. It would also of course give both sides a chance to learn about a different country and culture.
