Nikki's trip to the village

Last week Nikki went with several other people from the office to deliver school supplies and uniforms to a kendergarden aged class. She had a wonderful time.

Below are her comments and memories from that day:

One of the first classes that is learning to read and write in Jita. (the local language)

No desk or chair in the front of the class for the teacher

Only a few benches, not enough for all the kids

Delivered uniforms, shoes and school supplies

The ladies received help to carry their things but not Nikki's

Kids were a little scared of them

They talked in Jita not Swahili

Lizard fell from the roof while the items were being presented

it was a 2 hour drive to the school

Showing off their new uniforms

Magesa, Kim, Ronit, Tirzah and Nikki

The class greeted them in unison

On the way home they passed a wedding and there was a cow being butchered. The head was cut off and it was skinned and gutted.
