In The Company of Men

I’m the only female teacher at Orkeeswa Secondary school among six other men. Scott’s teaching Biology and Agriculture I. There’s Thomas who’s teaching Math and Physics. Thabit is teaching History and Geography. Godfrey is teaching Agriculture II and Chemistry. And then there’s Robert who teaches Swahili and Civics, and is also Orkeeswa’s headmaster. Scott and I are the only volunteer teachers, which means everyone else is Tanzanian. All of us teach in English and, throughout the day, converse in English.
