Friday Night Lights

Friday, May 07, 2021


We don't have class after lunch (which is from 1:00-2:00 pm) on Fridays.  The afternoon time is for clubs, family groups (small groups led by teachers/staff that are in charge of cleaning certain areas of the grounds as well as meeting for various discussions of life skills sorts of topics not covered in class), or other school events like debates with other schools.  The science club meets in the library, led by form four students Baton and Shuaka.  Sometimes, they ask to borrow my laptop to play educational videos.  


On Friday evenings (about 5:00 pm to 6:30) we have football (what you call soccer), which is the BIG sport here.  Sometimes, like tonight, it's teachers against students; sometime's it's one class against another, or sometimes against another school.  



Mr. Mngoma, the headmaster, was doing something or other up by the dining hall with his pickup truck.  He let some of the students have fun by piling in the back when he moved it back around to his house.  




Above, some after-football stretching. Below, here's me with form four student Elisha.
