As we weeks are winding down, we had our last English lesson today. Lindsie and I taught standard eight again and reviewed proper sentences. We had small groups create short stories about hiking. They wrote about the monkeys and hippos that they saw along the way. After we had the students read their stories and as a class we corrected the sentences along the way. To end our classes in celebration, we had a muffin and soda with all the kids. However we barley had enough because of the unexpected attendance of Michelle and Kelly's class. They had over 60 students come to class! It was sweet to see how many kids were eager to come and have fun while learning! But maybe they just heard we were having sweeties.. :)
In the afternoon we took the Passion football team to the reform school for a pick up game. All of the boys put on their jerseys and had a great time playing! Even Kelly got to jump in during the second half!
"It was almost surreal to play football with the Malawian teams. We shared a common language of sports regardless of different cultures and language barriers. They were so welcoming to have an azungu, and a girl nontheless, to play with them." -Kelly
Of of my favorite parts of the game was not watching the boys play, but watching how excited the the headmaster was from watching her boys play! It was a very exciting game where we also got to see the boy's talents shine through!
