Home from School in the Rain

I spied these 4 coming up the Nonko Road beside the College site.

The children are (right to left) Justice, Mano, and Analees. I love their smart uniforms, their bright faces, and the big brollie.

Because we were on site all day, my office was a wall beside this road. I had to complete the construction agreement, while Roger made sure that the platform was made properly.

While I was sitting all the school children walked passed. There were muslim girls going dow, the hill, and primary school children going up hill. Great to see the College is positioned really central for them.

They would come past in a group of 3 or 4, and the less embarrassed would come across to shake my hand. You see in Rwanda they are still not used to someone in white skin, and there is much fun in touching someone who is so different from them.

So today I shook about 20 hands, and the rest just smiled, sniggered or waved, but all were friendly. The typical greeting is Good Morning, but when its 4pm some English language correction is encouraged.

Tomorrow is a public holiday so it will be much quieter, but the work on the platform for the College goes on.
