Homework

Here at the Farm each night the children come home from school and they sit outside on mats and do their homework. In the morning those who haven't finished have time to do so before they leave for school at 10:00am. Those who finished get to go to English study.

Tonight all the other sisters were doing other things so here I was all alone with at least 15 kids from all different ages. At one point I had four of them all sitting around me saying Sister what next, sister help me, Sister what's this. It was a bit chaotic but it was wonderful at the same time.


This little boy is so smart. His English is good and he helps me explain things to the other kids. I'll say it in English and he'll translate. He also is a hot shot with all the kids. The cool kid.




This little girl didn't understand a word I said. So my little hot shot had to translate everything. It helped that I think he had a little crush on her because he would smile and wait and hover over her. It was so very cute. In the photo we are working on English sentences way to far advanced for her but the school is under staffed and teachers are volunteers from the community so you get what you get. I would spell out the words she needed to write as she knew her alphabet and that was it. 



This mornings session was no different.



The kids are great. They love school and they love learning. So far I've enjoyed the few hours I've had with them and can't wait for more to come.
