END OF TERM 1

We are currently in the final days of the first term. Learners are taking their end-of-term exams, which was an INTERESTING experience the first time around. It feels great to have one term conquered; I feel much more prepared for the next two. The 29th is the teachers’ last day; from there I will spend a few days with other volunteers at one of their sites, then on to a week of camping. We’ll be at Chobe National Park in Botswana for a few days, and then Victoria Falls, which we have timed to coincide with the full moon because it creates a rainbow over the falls!

I have been learning some more phrases in Oshindonga; the kids LOVE teaching it to me and even created a little test! It’s not easy though, let me tell you, especially because I am not learning it as you’d typically learn a language, like subject/verb agreement and verb tenses and so on; I’m learning to say phrases. AND there are so many languages in this country! I go a few hours away and they speak a different language!

Oshili nawa! (Have a good day!)
