DAY SCHOOL

March    2013

Brother Fred set us up with appointments for visiting 

so we met him at his home and started

with Sister Joyce who has a school 

she really wanted  us to visit. 

This is a school for very young children.

This is the outside.

At the top they plan to print the name of the school.

There is a long row of homes to the left of the school.

Inside the building we find the children at their tables.

The cost for this school is 500 shillings per month.

That is a little over $5.00.

Some of these children are too poor to pay for the

schooling so Sister Joyce lets them come for free,

We watch them and they watch us.

Sometime those who cannot pay will come 

only every other month.

 Singing a learning song.

 Nice charts on the walls. They are colored on 

bag material.

These fish have a letter of the alphabet on each.

The teacher had a bottle full of bottle caps

which she handed out to the children as she told each 

which number to make with the caps.

Busy making their assigned number.

The teacher teaches for half the day then the 

children go home for lunch and come back to 2pm.

Sister Joyce then teaches in the afternoon.

The teacher would come to each child and correct

them if they were wrong.

Then they sang a song for each child because they had

done it correctly.

When the class sang about the child that child would

stand and sway to the music.

Interesting shoes on one of the girls.

 Some of the children were called to the board to

sound out the letters that made up the word duck.

The another child came to the board to 

point to the letter then point to the picture that

began with the letter from duck.

Cute shirt and the other side matched this one!!

 Outside the school were these children.

 When we first arrived this boy was feeding the baby 

from a bottle but moved to pose for a picture.

I didn't want him to move so I did not take his picture. 

When we came out of the school he was there and I

took the picture.

Doing the laundry!~

 This building was to the right of the school.

It is a home.

Across the "street" from the school was this building.

This is called a "hotel" where meals are served.

We may call them a cafe'.

The children go to their homes for lunch and if they have

money they may eat at the hotel and not go to their home.
