Day 3: Asanti=Thank you. A word we used to the farmer who let us milk his cow today
At Nyota Home there are several dairy cows, chickens, and a variety of
crops like wheat and spinach. A lot of the food/milk is used for the
children, and extra is sold to community members. We also worked with
grade 2 students as they prepare for their finals next week. The teacher
is lovely, and mostly the same curriculum
us taught here as at home. Children go to school from 8:30-4:00 or 5:00
and are a hard working bunch. After someone answers a question
correctly on the board, they sing a song to congratulate them. And if
they themselves get an answer correct, then they pat their chest instead
of their back. This evening Ezekial, one of the wonderful chefs, and
his partner chef, prepared chicken and French fries, and we celebrated
some birthdays with cake! I especially enjoyed free time today as I was
able to teach a few kids how to juggle scarves. The younger ones enjoyed
playing skirts, head scarves, and ribbons out of them, lol. Our day
ended with read-alouds, camp songs, and prayer. Can't wait to see what
tomorrow brings!
