It was back to school today. Katie and I are getting to know the children better as each day passes and each little personality is so unique. Some are cheeky, some are needy, some are very naughty! One little boy Casper is very clever and can answer any question you ask him, but he writes everything upside down and back to front. Dyslexia 101 but it's so hard to explain to Teacher Neema what is going on. Reminiscent of that incredible Indian film "Like Stars on Earth"... if you haven't been lucky enough to have seen it already - track it down and watch it (try Ebay). Amazing.
The little things still make us giggle. Today we covered the alphabet and they were learning "A is for Apple, B is for Ball" etc... and X was for Christmas! hahaha
The other volunteers are fantastic. We all sat around last night playing mild drinking games and getting to know each other even better. Everyone's really excited about our big Mexican fiesta tomorrow night. We've had our green, red and white outfits made by Mama Mona in Moshi, started making the pinata, magically tracked down a Mexican flag through one of the all-knowing street sellers, and are gearing up for a night of Nachos, tequila and dancing at the local wateringhole. We can't wait!
Thanks for all the gorgeous messages coming through from home. Really makes going away easier when you know how good you've got it back at base. Hope Harvey Bear is behaving himself!
