Elu Child Care MOROGORO

Erasto began his school after completing a Philosophy Degree in Ireland. He had returned to Tanzania and this was what he wanted to do but he had no finance. He began with three children in 1997.
He now has a school with a Kindergarten, primary and secondary school as well as a boarding school. 460 pupils! I was taken around the school and shown buildings, some old and well used, others new and some still under construction.  A beautiful library with shelving but no books on the shelves yet.
Laboratory with all the equipment and I had the honour of meeting the whole high school to tell them about myself and work and answer their questions.  Bright, focussed, confident youth filled with interest and smiling.
Throughout the school were happy, smiling children with warm and well mannered greetings, joyously playing.
Erastos main lesson he refers to as "Right Touch" and his philosophy around teaching is that we are not the one or the other but we are what lies in the middle, it is not the egg or the chicken that comes first but that which lives between the egg and the chicken.  His great endeavour is that the children find their essence, who they are and find their individuality that they can shine out and become true leaders.
We are all uncles and aunts here at Elu Child Care as aunts and uncles can be trusted and one can speak openly to them. One big happy family.
Erasto has visited the Goetheanum for a conference, been to conferences in Hamburg and Brazil - Connectivity conference and so has come in touch with the teachings of Anthroposophy and though he has not trained as a Waldorf teacher all who meet him remark on what a Waldorf way he carries.
He has attended Waldorf Teachers Conferences in Nairobi and Hekima Waldorf in the past and many volunteer students come to Elu Child Care who have been Waldorf students themselves. He however says he knows nothing about Anthroposophy but feels a kindred spirit with those in the know.
