An amazing place

My time at Bolera Palms was absolutely amazing. Although it was quite a culture shock when first arriving, I soon settled in and met some lovely people. It was quite daunting for the first day of teaching, suddenly faced with a class full of students, some who struggled with reading and speaking English, but you soon learn how best to communicate with the children. Each day we would have a mix of lessons, from Maths and English to Geography and Dance.
Rita who runs the program is fabulous, always willing to help even with everything she has to do with running the school and the resort, and she is really good fun! She organised a trip to Liwonde National Park for us which was a great day out, and would take us into Blantyre when we needed to.
With the resort being right on the lake shores, it's a lovely place to relax after teaching and at the weekends with a nice drink! When I was there we had guards who patrolled the fences at night and would come and check we were OK in our house in the early evening, which was a real comfort.
Despite haven't taken a little time to settle, I was gutted when it was time to leave, and would love to be able to go back and visit some day.
