Tech Squad Goes South

The fourth Tech Squad trip this year took us south, first to Rehoboth for a day then two days in Bethanie, the oldest town in Namibia.

In Rehoboth, the Squad installed software and configured a 20-computer lab We enjoyed the lunch and dinner Rehoboth High School provided for us.

We stopped in Rehoboth for just one night so that we could help install software and configure computers for their new 20-computer lab. It was pretty easy work and the Squads enjoyed the down time.

The oldest known church in Namibia. The oldest building in Namibia.  It's now a museum.Lydia, Olivia and Caroline climb the narrow steps to the bell tower.

From Rehoboth we traveled south for six hours to Bethanie where we split into two groups.  On group went to the High School outside town while the other went to a primary school.  Both groups fixed some minor computer problems Friday night, then ran computer classes for teachers, learners and community members all day Saturday.

Paulus and Joel gave us a short sermon from the pulpit of this very old church The two squads as well as our assistant, Kali at our nightly meeting.By Sunday morning everyone was pretty exhausted and slept most of the way home.

We left for Windhoek early Sunday morning after having provided computer classes for more than 60 learners, 6 teachers and several members of the community.  All told, a very successful trip.
