Complete the marking today at school today. The kids will receive their grades over the next few days and these will count very much towards their future education. It's a reading comprehension for english which most of them understand. It always helps. Fail again in my plot to catch up with this blog. I am thwarted at every turn.
I somehow end up with nine young kids of differing abilities at SOW today, but it's fun getting them to draw pictures and write the words in chalk underneath. They're pretty happy to show me what they can do and I even see a "ladder". Kind of hard to gauge how far some of the kids have come for the lesson. Most will live quite nearby, yet I wonder how far kids in Scotland would walk to draw pictures and write words on a misty chalkboard. I guess education is like anything- the more you get of it, the more indifferent you become. Then again, maybe the kids have just come to laugh at the white people.
Overall, a good, tiring day and as I walk home in the dark after my taxi drops me off, you can't help marvelling how spectacular the sky looks tonight. The stars are brilliant and the Milky Way appears to be sitting on the shoulder of the mountain, taking a rest from all of its endlessness.
