Possible Employers: Deloitte Yemen

Again, I haven’t heard of specific openings here, but am providing the information as a possible resource to contact for employment. …………..

 

“The Deloitte practice in Yemen, operating under the name of Deloitte Touche (M.E.) and Partner, was re-established in 2001.

Deloitte is the leading public accounting and consulting firm in the country and has the experience required to look after businesses large and not-so-large.

We recognize that the special needs of small businesses are very different from those of multinational corporations and we have the experience and the understanding to meet the needs of both. With the strength of our international organization behind us, we offer small and large companies the best of both worlds. Our personal attention and specialized knowledge are combined with the global resources and expertise of a major international firm.”

Homeschooling in Yemen: Science

Ok, so homeschooling in Yemen may require a bit more creativity than say in the states, but its do-able.

 I have found that the longer I have been here, I have found more and more supplies and helpful things for homeschooling………………..

 

Science Supplies.

I picked up this cute little set from City Mart.  It was around 14 bucks, but as we haven’t really done too much in the way of science, I wanted to get the kids something to be excited about. (I’m a cheapy). And it really works………. its a bug kit, but I bought it for the microscopes……………..

 

At Happy Land, I noticed a chemical set, I guess solutions for reactions and what not.  It had a lot of vials. I was too cheapy to get it, can’t remember the price, but I may invest in it.

 

A younger brother (Yemeni) told my son that they got dirt from a nearby park. But you have to be careful here as sometimes the locals don’t “get” the things that we do and can be really particular and un understanding, so I’m not sure if we’ll venture on to this. But I have seen some nurseries on Sharia 45 (the street Pizza Hut and KFC are on, but down in the other direction more towards Taiz. You could probably pick up some plants there.

So these are just a few things that I have come across while homeschooling here……………

New bus service

Raha taxi is establishing a new bus service between provinces and cities cited a  recent story in a local newspaper here.

“New travel means and a new set of standards for this service will be implemented in which a number of buses will be equipped with safety and comfort amenities including ventilation, comfortable seats, more leg room, anti-slip sensors for safety, and night lighting. All trips in this new service will include varied media programs containing religious, scientific, and tourist programs, as well as children’s programs. ” Yemen Observer, 4/09
