Sunday was visit day for the girls’ families. I spent some time with the girls up around the basketball court as their parents and siblings drifted in and out. I didn’t really speak to many of the parents, choosing instead to talk to the girls. A few of them talked to me about their ambitions to study at university. I even participated in a basketball game against Johanna and two others on a team with Roisin and Belize and got a sunburn.
We Americans went to town with Sande because Nathan and Andrew needed some clothes for until their luggage arrives (tomorrow). The market was far less intimidating on a quiet Sunday. After market, we met Sehaya and Jeremy and two German women for drinks, making for a crowded booth!
Monday morning we were up early for the girls’ assembly in front of the school. In neat rows, they sing and hear announcements from their prefects. Quite a sight. Then they introduced me, Andrew, and Nathan, and each of us said a brief introduction and hello. The girls giggled a lot seeing Andrew. We assisted in Sande’s computer class. This proved to be a challenge because the program is slightly different from the powerpoint we are familiar with. Additionally, a few of the computers have issues with the size of the screen relative to the monitor. I don’t know how to fix computer issues! Nathan has been working tirelessly to elucidate and simplify the network, which seems to be built layer upon layer in an unnecessarily complicated arrangement.
