Wednesday
Today we went back to Cyato King’s House to teach some more lessons. We all went into different classes and showed the Rwandan teachers how to use some of the things we had brought. Me and mum made posters and taught P 1 to sing, If you’re happy and you know it . I don’t like rwandan toilets they’re hard to use.
After lessons we went to the peace guest house to have a drink and listen to the fishermen sing on Lake Kivu. I saw a owl on a tree.
Thursday
Mum, Dad, Sara, Emma, Chelle and Paul watched the Rwandan teachers and helped them in their lessons and I went to Kinyarwandan lessons and learnt how to write in Kinyarwandan. It was a bit scary as I was on my own but I wrote a bit.
Every day we eat lunch at the school. They give us rice and pasta and chips and a fish sauce. It is very strong sauce but the Rwandan teachers eat a lot. Some of them walk one hour and a half each day to school. As we left the children all ran after the car. It take 45 minutes to drive home and the roads are very bumpy.
Tomorrow is the last day at Cyato and we are having a celebration. They are going to dance and the children will sing all the songs we have taught them.
What an exciting time you are having Boo Where are you going after Cyato? Was the Kinyarwanden writing very difficult to do?Do the children play games in the playground like you do at L E H?The concert tomorrow will be lovely I know. Take care Love and xxxxxxMarji Will you tell your class at Eleeaich about your trip? J&R well and eating lots Love Poppa
ReplyDeleteWow aren't you amazing, Beth? I expect the children love having you in the school, but it must be very strange being the only white person. Well done teaching them songs. you will have to teach us Kinyarwandan. The loos are tricky to manage - we found that in Nigeria & India!! I have tried to post this several times, and eventually had to join google so I hope it works now!! Buppa, Kev, Ruth,Abi, Jemima, Lucy & Beccy all send their love to you and Mummy & Daddy
