We slept in a little this morning because of our long day yesterday. Eric and Lisa took a small bus to their Shadow PCV and the rest of us (n=6) crammed into a taxi for the hour drive to Kinenulo. Since we were supposed to arrive in time for dinner yesterday, there was a ton of food waiting for us. After our delicious lunch, we met the head mitress of the school (Philip Mungulo Sec.,) who gave us a tour of the school. After meeting all the teachers at lunch (which we gratefully declined), Marilyn told us our schedules for the week. She tried to give Megan, our only Math person, her full teaching schedule for the week but it was cut down to a reasonable load. Mindy, Ezra, and I split up the Chem periods so we will observe tomorrow then each of us teaches 2 periods sometime during the rest of the week.

Later in the afternoon, the boys went exploring and saw a small crevasse in the earth that we want to try finding this week. When the boys were away, us girls tried to light the charcoal stove and it took us about 30 minutes to even get it started and stay lit. We didn’t tell the boys how long it took us. We’ll see how long it takes them tomorrow.

This evening we joined Marilyn at her Life Skills session. Today’s activity was coming up with responses to lines a student might hear to have sex. Some of the lines were hilarious, like, “Sex makes your boobs bigger.” Others were tougher ones to think of responses to, like, “Practice makes perfect.” The kids did a great job coming up with responses they can use if someone uses one of the pressure lines on them. We even got the boys and the girls to work together a little, which is really hard to do.
