Helima's kids are the two in the middle and the others are neighborhood kids. Note the eating with the hands.
Midway through the dinner we heard a knock at the gate and a young girl entered and asked for Mwalimu (teacher). I went out and talked to her and she claimed that she had heard that Nini and I were teaching English at the Chukwani Skuli. She was upset because she wanted to participate but her classes schedule wasn't flexible. Could we start classes at 6? Unfortunately, school rooms don't have electricity and we are only here for another week; we sent her off with a notebook and pen and Obama Boy told her about a program he is creating to teach motivated students English for free.

Helima's boys are so handsome and they must have loved being part of the party. did they dance? sounds like you and nini were a big hit at the nearby neighborhood school and that there is a huge desire for the locals to learn english. Masoud will have his hands full if his program takes off. he certainly has the personality for it. love all these pics of the locals. you should have a slide show for your friends when you return home. the images are gorgeous. luv.mum
