A Pic of Some Childrens



(l to r) Aisha, Sokaina and Fatima. Aisha is quite shy, but we've had some good times together. Sokaina is the student with whom I feel most connected. It's probably because she speaks a fair amount of French and is open-minded enough to question the status quo. This seems to be a rarity here. We have great discussions about a wide variety of topics. Fatima is excited to be learning English and decided one day to repeat her newly learned phrase over and over and over: "F@#$ Off!" For some reason I couldn't stop laughing at her. The positive reinforcement went a long way as she can now be heard uttering this phrase quite frequently. It's a good thing that swearing in a foreign language isn't really swearing, huh?

  1. BEAUTIFUL girls! Absolutely gorgeous! The one on the left looks similar to Adriana. If any of them were to argue about their beauty with me, I would tell them to F#@$ off!!! That's the truth
