Form 3 Shenanigans

Welcome to another afternoon with form 3!  Today in class, we were reviewing giving good directions in English, and to introduce the topic, we played a game in which a blindfolded person had to find a paper fish taped somewhere in the room (round one: the wall on the other side of the room, round two: on Innocent's forehead, round three: on the column just outside the door), guided by another student, who had to give them verbal directions while guiding them.  While form three (average age 16) like to act like they are cool and grown-up, they fold quickly when there's fun to be had.  

We were being a bit silly after class; the students aren't allowed phones at school, so every now and then I let them talk me into letting them practice their selfies on mine when I have a few minutes to supervise.  I thought my selfie didn't turn out too bad.  

Me with some the boys: Baraka, Salum, Kean, Victor and Daniel.

Goofballs...Kean, Gabriel and Salum.

The Form Three classroom, and a few of the girls working on assignments.

Kean, Gabriel, and Salum, still trying to look cool...

Is it working?

Maybe if we do an artistic background blur...

Artistically looking at the ceiling, maybe?  

Alright, let's look at ourselves...

I have fun working with teenagers. :)

Exploring Monduli

Welcome to Monduli!  Here are a few pictures from around town.  There are two tree-lined roads on either side of the Police Field (a large open field next to the police station; it's used for community events and soccer games); I love it when there's a canopy of trees like this. 

This shot is going down towards our neighborhood (the whole town is on a slope on the side of the mountain; the neighborhood I live in is below the main part of town).  In the distance, you can see the plain.

This is Tumaini grocery store, which is the largest shop in town.  Look, it has two aisles! Ish.  But, it has the basics.
