I am (maybe) posting some pictures of students at school and depending on the speed of the internet connection, may try to get a video or two up.
These photos are from our morning assembly. We don’t have a loud speaker hear to announce the day’s news, call bus numbers in the afternoon or report on the outcome of yesterday’s athletics meet (track). We have an assembly in the morning and afternoon where the students sing, pray and then make announcements. They line up in rows according to their class and the school prefect leads everyone through the meeting. I am typing this on my laptop in our school’s science lab and a pigeon just appeared on the rafter in the corner. I have no idea how it got in here. T.I.A. Anyway, each class takes turns leading the song; sometimes the choir (well, it’s not quite a choir, it’s just a group of older boys who like to sing) performs and reads something from the Bible (if the video uploads you will see this! They are very good!). Our school doesn’t have an assembly hall like so others do, so we hold the gathering outside, weather permitting. You’ll notice the fields in the background, particularly the sunflowers that have risen to be quite tall. It’s not a bad setting for a school. The rest of the mountains are off to the right (North).
