With just a couple of days left in the country, we realised that we only had a few pics of our students and of us teaching, so we remedied that the other night. This photo is of Cathlin teaching on the enclosed patio. This "classroom" has had a few issues. It seems impossible to have both the light and fan working at the same time...so it's a choice between being comfortably unable to see, or uncomfortably able to see.
I think I read something about making English lessons relevant to your students...so I used the djembé to teach the rhythm used in English words and phrases. We've met some very, very good djembé players here...including one of the workers at the office. Since many grow up playing it, it looks very natural...and impossible to replicate.
And here are some of my current students, pictured on the left...listening intently I might add.
...and a handful of Cathlin's students, who either can't see (because the light isn't working) or are incredible hot (because the fan isn't working).
