Busy days until the last days of the exchange period

The UN international day of Persons with Disabilities, December 3, was marked at Molde University College in Norway, and at the same time at Patandi Teachers College of Special needs education in Arusha, Tanzania. It is important to use this day to create awareness of the rights and situations of persons with disabilities around the world. 

On December 4., at the HIMOLDE ‘recruitment day’, some Tanzanian project participants participated with Norwegian students and staff in meeting the county practice field and presenting project posters and leaflets focusing UN rights of children with disabilities. At the same time, two of project participants, Seif and Ruzna, were busy teaching in a teenager class at Tøndergård. The focus in the lesson and following discussions was signification of roots and influence on identity development. The picture bear witnesses about a good atmosphere, and a lesson that was appreciated by pupils as well as teachers.  

December 4. was a particular eventful day. On their own initiative, the Norwegian project participants invited to a party for their Tanzanian fellows at Skålahallen. Everything was arranged and prepared by the Norwegian students. In addition to the project participants, the project team and other project relevant persons were also invited. Although Santa Claus was not visibly present, all the Tanzanians were given a Christmas gift containing a rucksack with a Molde Fotball Club (MFK) suit plus MFK suits for their children!
