Hello! Shw mae! Lumela!

My name's Claire Bradford and I'm a primary school teacher from Cardiff. From January - June 2011 I'll be working in Maseru, Lesotho with Dolen Cymru.

The aim of this blog is to help children in Welsh schools to learn about the country of Lesotho. As well as the blog entries, I intend to upload diaries and other writing by Basotho schoolchildren, pictures and videos.

I will be updating the site at least once a week. The most recent blog post will be short enough to display on the class whiteboard/Smartboard during registration for the children to read.

Hopefully, the resources on the site will be useful for teachers. Anyone can ask questions about Lesotho by posting a comment on the blog (I will select them before they go online, to keep the blog child-friendly). If you need a photo or video of something specific in the country, just ask, and I'll take it for you if I can.
