This is Quinta and Winnie. They are, as you can see, identical twins. The only way I can really tell them apart is that Quinta has a scar on her head! They are the two I gave my camera too - they're having fun with it.
This is most of the older girls hostel. We were listening to music on my computer and having a little dance party. fun!!!
This is class 7 - I've taught english to them a few times. They are hilarious - and lots of fun. I gave my camera to them for the day yesterday - they took some great pics. I'll have to post them when I get a better internet connection.
So, we went to this restaurant called "Tilapia Beach" yesterday and here I am, enjoying my first fishes eyeball. blecch. the pic above is me after - I survived!
This is Faith and Pauline. Pauline helps in the house a lot - she's really sweet. Faith is a character - she is always coming up behind me, tapping me on the shoulder and then she hides. She's fast too! I can never quite catch her. :o)
Here we are in the rain!! We are pretty soaked - so cold!
This is Takawari - pretty great. Very tranquil, relaxing, etc... I watched my first goat get slaughtered - no thank you. Don't think I need to watch that again. :)
This is my friend Lavenda from Mbita carrying water - I could NEVER do that. Actually, I tried putting it on my head, but she got nervous, I think! We had to walk a good 20 minutes to go and get the water in the first place - I'm sure she didn't want to go back!
Here is our audience when we were trying to leave to Takawari the first time - it grew to about 30 kids by the end!
There is Harold, aka "Daddy", as the kids call him, trying to haul in the anchor. That was the first mistake...
