Are you still in Luanda? I'm looking for a teacher/tutor & possible other students to create a home school (using an accredited online private school & curriculum) for my 14 yr old son... any ideas on where to find both teachers & students who may be interested? I have posted classifieds for both on expat-blog, just waiting for them to come online.
Many thanks...

I am an Accountant and have been promised a job in a super market in Luanda, Angola. I have had mixed reactions from my fellow friends about safety concerns there.
Can someone tell me what to do? I have been promised equivalent of 1000 US dollars salary, with food and accomadations taken care of by the employer. Is this a good deal?
Looking for a honest reply! :)
Thanks
