School

Every Thursday my mom and I along with either my dad or Lily (another sister in our group. Since Lily has been in the States my dad has been helping) teach at a little school that can't afford a religion or English teacher (both of which are mandatory here). So we use the Enjoy Life brochure and their English book to teach both basic English and the Bible to two different groups of students. We separate them into grades for instance first second and fifth are in the same classroom so Lily teaches the first graders (who can't even count amazingly enough) I teach the second graders (who are geniuses compared to the first graders. Some how one year makes a huge difference) and my mom teaches the fifth graders (which aren't really that smart). Then in the second classroom is- third forth and sixth. (I know- not really thought out). So Lily takes third (who are smarter than the fifth graders in the other classroom) I take forth (who are super duper smart- I am happy with both of my groups) and my mom takes sixth (who are so smart that before we came they could already translate basic English and put things together for harder stuff). All in all its pretty fun and we enjoy it eminencly though it is very tiring (I'm not sure why though- we only teach for 30 minutes in each class). So here are some pictures. Most of the kids belong to the tribe of Nogbe so they look Indian. This is our first group- I don't have pictures of the second group yet.

 This is the classroom- well one of them anyways

 These are the first graders- since Lily has been gone mom took over her groups and let dad have the oldest kids since the youngest ones are hard to control.

 Here is my group of Second Graders the girl covering her face is a good student but I guess she doesn't like pictures.

Here are the Fifth Graders there aren't very many of them. The pink dress is a traditional dress of the Nogbe- this school lets the girls wear either their traditional dresses or school uniform. So the girls came differently each week.
