Day 2: Don't Mention the Sport

So it turns out that the Namilyango boys are indeed quite good at sport. I won't mention any score lines, but I believe the verb 'destroyed' was used by one of our students upon describing the result.

The markets were an eye-opener. We watched Madam Chirabo haggle for the biggest avocado any of us have ever seen...


And worked our way through the crowds and traffic.


On our return we spent some time meeting the senior sixth form students and sharing photographs and stories from home.




It was an early night after our strenuous travel yesterday. I suspect the girls won't thank me for this photo, but we all slept well.


This morning we were guests of honour at the first Sunday mass of the term, then took a tour around the school grounds. Namilyango has its own farm where alongside livestock, produce such as cassava, sweet potato, mango, avocado, coffee, maize, jackfruit and banana grow in abundance.
The watermelon went down well...


This afternoon we hope to make our first primary school visit so Weald students have been busy planning their activities for the session, as well as writing speeches for their presentation at Morning Parade tomorrow.
