Our Evening Stroll

Today was so lovely---highlights included a fabulous session with the Sikasso women, washing our delicates with little Maria and Christiane, and a walk to a new quarter with Baboi.

We love the Sikasso women and had so much fun with them as we debriefed their small group work with the campers. We modeled a protocol for classroom discussions and they loved it! At the end we all sang and danced to the Hippo song. We’re planning a fete for next week after the Hippo play!

When we came home we decided it was time to wash our undies and socks. These are done by hand n a bucket. We didn’t really know what we were dong, but were instructed by Mara (age 5) and Christiane (age 7). Christiane beamed after every clean sock. Our delicates are now hanging in the trees in the courtyard.

After our laundry, we took a walk with Baboi and helped him practice his English. We learned that he was first in his 10th grade class this year. We’re very proud. We walked to a new quarter of Kati. We'll put up photos of town soon!
