Joanna day! Wednesdays we all share lunch. Up front- Leanord (or DJ LDKAY as he writes on all his babers), Bright, Timothy, Charles, Richard, and Akuzike.
The form classrooms, and proof to always use your head.
Mike having a laugh once hes finished eating
View from Ulisa bay
SCIENCE EXPERIMENT (All Sasha’s idea for Ryans class)- to show that a candle releases upwards. a Pinwheel on a pin and clothespin spinning from a candle.
The grades of one of the absolute best students. Extremely few get a 1, this particular student works hard all the time. Yet teachers have very little good to say. See if you can guess which note the American wrote.
Any equation is easy if your 9s look like A’s! This is a frequent type of answer.
lunch! (served by all female teachers of course) and yes, you do just eat the entire back half of the fish as is. Unless you are tough (which we are not) you eat te head too! Served with nsima too hot for our fingers. Another teacher must grab it for us, and even halfway through we burn our fingers.
Sasha’s first island haircut, combed back with olive oil hairspray. The hairdresser was so proud (and knew Sasha would never have it this oiled again) she took a photo
On our way to Mango Drift! compare to photos just a few months ago- its a different place. And yes, Sasha is going first because Ryan is scared of snakes still.
Success! we made it to Mango Drift. Time to sip coffee or cider, eat some good pizza, and swim with day away. We’re still working though, we promise.
Headed back home. Notice Mozambique in the background
First Club day- we played a planet earth movie. 95 students pushed into the classroom. The best, if noisiest, audience. Their favorite part was the flamingoes and African hunting dogs.
headed home admiring the bright doors
School is starting late today
Right outside the classrooms. The students put stones across the flooded pathway to step on. It cleared within the hour, but was still quite the jump to class!
Previous volunteers helped fill our fridge- we’ll be eating well! you never know how much you will miss a carrot until it is literally impossible to get one.
Chillin at the beach with some chickens
Its the fishing off season, but the rows to dry fish are still there.
Lead teacher of the week reporting for duty. Notice the jacket
Taken in November. Its a different island!
