Raising Awareness of Dental Care with Crocodile Bambo The crocodile Bambo (translation of the crocodile in Mandinka), accompanied me on my last tour of various kindergartens before the end of the school year. I had a toothbrush and tooth paste for each child. The theatrical introduction to the topic of dental care and the demonstration of how to brush teeth properly using Bambo's teeth triggers many a laugh and is enjoyed by young and old alike. After the demonstration, I gave each child their present accompanied by a few words of encouragement. The present got packed up unto their backpacks with great joy. Later on, grateful parents here and there express their appreciation to me. Furthermore, new trainees will regularly visit the kindergartens and at the same time benefit from getting to know the lessons and the various playgrounds. As a result, the responsible inspector has also gained an insight into how my play program is structured during one of his visits. This cooperation is important and I really appreciate it, because my work should fit in with the local requirements. And as it turned out, it fits in perfectly with their new form of teaching.

Final Spurt Before the Easter Holidays Who hasn't experienced this? In your mind you have a -relatively- small project, but in the end the effort is much greater. That's what happened to me with the office, which I had already started up to the roof last year, together with the entrance area of the kindergarten premises, which still needed to be closed. Now, however, I am particularly pleased with the successful implementation. The benefits, quality and safety, as well as the overall appearance, are a source of all-round enthusiasm.

What a Wonderful Start in Senegal After joining the school a little later this school year, not only was the anticipation all the greater, but I was also presented with a particularly pleasing picture. Above all, I received an extremely warm welcome in the kindergartens, from the teachers as well as from the beaming children. And the play program is starting to become a regular part of the lessons. In addition, the planning of the final construction work for an office with a storage room and the front of the enclosure has already been completed. In a joint meeting with the kindergarten director of Ecole 2 and the building inspector, we found good solutions for the required quality and use. What I am also very pleased about is the constructive, open discussion with the new patron of the responsible inspectorate for intensive, regular cooperation in the pedagogical area. The quality of teaching, the interest and the visible enthusiasm of the children in the playgrounds are the areas that are particularly close to my heart. As I always say, the new buildings alone are not enough. They form the basis and opportunity for beneficial teaching, but what happens inside them is just as importantent.
