George Matantilo, headmaster at Simakakata Community School
I’ve just heard some great news about the fourth classroom at Simakakata. The roof is now on and the community are applying the finishing touches to the building such as hanging the doors and fitting the windows. I hope to have a couple of photos to share with you very shortly. (edit: click here to see the pictures)
Volunteer Adam is planning to call George, the headmaster, in July to get a full diary update for you. If you haven’t read part one of George’s diary yet you can read it here.
Do you have a question for George?
We’d also like to give you the opportunity to ask George a question. It can be about anything. The school, life in the community, how things have changed, what his future plans are, which football team he supports, how he spends his weekends. Whatever you want to know.
If you have a question please leave it in the comments section below. We’ll ask him at least five, more if he has time, and we’ll post his answers on the blog. If you’d prefer to receive them directly into your inbox please click here to sign up for our new e-newsletter. Thanks!
