Addis, like pretty every much capital city
attracts migrant workers. I interviewd quite a few, and many were obvious in
their appearance. Two young women applying had oil black teeth; and one so black it looked
like she had no teeth at all. I feared they might scare my gorgeous Pre – KG kids.
Nonetheless, i have employed a couple of
country-bumpkins, one as a class teacher and one recently as an Educational
Assistant in Upper Primary. But they have both body odour issues.
Aged Rasta returnee Mrs R explains that it
is a commonly held belief that deodorants and antiperspirants are cancer
causing. The ventilation in our classrooms are very poor and the impact can be
stifling and retch inducing during our hot days. I have sorted the class
teacher and now it’s time for our EA. Never a comfortable meeting to address, but it has
to be done.
