I think it is about time I provide some updates about what exactly it is I am doing here. Well, these last three weeks I have served as a teacher (or mwanafunzi). The first two weeks I had a group of 22 students, girls and boys, between the ages of about 14 and 16. These kids are a riot. After the usual initial discomfort of learning how to teach in English, then have it translated into Swahili by someone who you hope is saying the same message you just gave, myself and the students warmed up to one another. In fact, I quickly developed a genuine fondness for each of them.
Actually, I am moving homestays and my new "mama" is here, so this post in done.
Love and miss,
Shannon
