THis is Maureen and Heather ( and my housemate, Kathy) who are two regular PC vols in the town we are in.  They are teaching science subjects in the local public high school.  We had them over for a little dinner ( with some S. African wine) and this is on our front porch...we have a nice breeze most of the time and its very nice out there when we don't have our laundry hanging on the lines crisscrossing it.

We happened upon this procession in town...the organization translates the bible into each of the local tribal dialects...they have a few done ..I have a video I took but I can't figure out how to download a video onto my blog....Steve...help ????

This view is out our front....the school is planting rice in the water and other crops up the hillside.  beautiful, really.  

We had a little science class on the parts of the flower...they went out and gathered some specimens

This is one of the only 25 girls in the school, with 225 boys.  Here, with employment at such a premium, most of the teachers at all levels are men and there is an initiative to attract more females.  

I told the kid in the shades that he reminded me of Stevie Wonder....they all got a big laugh out of that.

This picture was taken out the door to the academic hall..this little guy is waiting wth his bucket of food to sell to the students when they get a break.  He looks tired...falling out of the chair.

This kid just came in one evening and started doing math on the blackboard.....they really want more information.
