Peter Larlham

Peter kept us all entertained throughout our journey, recounting many of his memories of the school, he also spent most of his time behind the camera faithfully recording it all on video, something we all treasure.

Peter wasted no time once he returned home, he launched his project to supply the Mnyankongwa Primary School with a library to be proud of and next May (2010) he and some of his students plus a few others will travel to Kongwa armed with a container load of donated books to complete the task of fully refurbishing and cataloguing their library.

It was wonderful for those of us who had never been to Kongwa to hear the ex-Kongwans exchanging their memories and as one memory jogged another we outsiders began to understand what it was all about and understand the need to return and exchange these memories with their peers. For some their whole childhood and most formative years were spent in Kongwa a very long way away from their parents.
