Ten teachers from Japan came to Namibia during their 10-day summer holiday.

The Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) programme, organised by JICA Tohoku, offers Japanese teachers an opportunity to visit other countries and learn about life and education there.During the programme, teachers visit local schools, interact with local teachers and learners, and learn about the country’s culture and daily life. They also get the chance to observe the activities of JICA volunteers working in the field, including what we do as volunteers in Namibia.After returning to Japan, they share their experiences and what they have learned in Namibia with children at their schools.

In late July, the teachers arrived at Walvis Bay Airport one day later than scheduled. Due to a typhoon, their flight was delayed, and unfortunately, they were unable to visit Namib Primary School, where I work.However, we made the most of their time in Namibia by introducing them to some of the country’s delicious meat dishes and its famous desert landscapes.

While working overseas, we often face unexpected challenges, and things do not always go as smoothly as they might in Japan. This time, the weather disrupted the original training schedule. However, I hoped the teachers would discover that even when things do not go according to plan, there are always new things to discover and valuable lessons to learn.For me, this visit was also a wonderful opportunity to share Namibia with others. What has become part of my everyday life here may be something completely new and fascinating to people visiting from Japan.

The following day, we visited schools and towns in Usakos, Karibib and Omaruru, neighbouring towns in the Erongo Region. I was very happy that the teachers had the opportunity to experience different aspects of Namibia.
