Pooey



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.
