We are so pleased to congratulate Fatimetu Malaini from Sandblast Charity in Western Sahara School of Boudjour for completing her Stave House level 1 teacher training . We hope to Welcome Tetu to stay with us in July for some hands on training and mentoring with Ruth . As you can see Tetu is up against not having her large board any more ( sand storms and floods are frequent in WSahara ) - we can sort that when she visits - these resources are durable but the big board was lost when the school was moved . Tetu has sessions with Ruth from the refugee camp every week via face time to improve her piano skills and is supported and funded by Desert Voice -Sandblast with Danielle Smith overseeing the training progress . Ruth and Russell continue to support the charity and sponsor the children award exams each year . Danielle and Ruth are currently arranging a visit for 10 of the National Children's Day UK children to visit UK in the Summer - Ruth will be giving free workshops to these children who study the Stave House method in Boudjour and hopes to take them to a UK school that also teaches Stave house where they will be able to share a lesson together and appreciate each others culture and learning environments .
