Nelly the elephant
Cutest kid in the history of the world. After promising for so long, I have finally come through with the goods. Here are some pictures of my kiddies. We ran into a few of them on Saturday a week or so ago (not all of them come to the orphanage on Saturday, a lot of them stay home with their guardians, so I’ll get some pictures of them another time) - they had been taken to the ice cream shop as a treat. As you can see, they are massive posers! Nelly is my clear favourite. She is the cutest kid in the world. And, she also said to me the other day as I was about to leave, ‘Usiende nyumbani,’ which means ‘Don’t go home.’ So that made me like her even more!
Yesterday at school the kids were asked to make words out of the sounds ‘ba, be, bi, bo, bu; ca, ce, ci, co, cu, etc.’ They each had to do one set of sounds. So one did the Bs, then another kid did the Cs, and the one that did the Ds went something like this:
Dad, den, dig, dog, duck.
Pendeza (think I posted a photo of her a while
ago) was next with the Fs. She wrote ‘fat’ and ‘fed’ and then seemed to get a bit lazy, so she just started copying from the Ds. She ended up with this:
Fat, fed, fig, fog……..FUCK.
The teacher and I were quite amused. Fortunately, they are six and seven year old kids who speak very little English, so they didn’t understand what she’d written!!
Peace Out xoxo
