Montfort Special Education Needs College - Maryview


On our way down to Nakoma School we did a special mission.  A colleague of mine is a teacher for the hearing impairment and has been out to Malawi. When she knew that we were heading there, she asked if we could take some hearing aids out with us.  We agreed, not knowing where the school was but lo and behold it was on the road down with only a very slight diversion.  Unfortunately it was a Sunday so the school wasn't in but the Director kindly came to meet us.  We handed over the aids and also some money to pay for some batteries for them.  As per tradition, we were asked into the office to sign the register.  Whilest doing so, the Director explained that he had a visit from someone from the Scottish Government called Fiona as well.  He pointed to the wall and there was Fiona Hyslop's photo, my sister in law!  The Director was so pleased so we spent another five minutes finding her signature in the book. What a small world!!


Handing over about 50 hearing aids and some funds for batteries with pride!!
