ALMOST THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL AT MATOBO H.S./I GET TO CELEBRATE WITH THE LEARNERS!

Kids, like kids anywhere, willingly gather to have a picture taken...even if it's with me. I'm not sure if they were done with final exams or if they had just finished testing. It didn't matter. Just about everyone was in a "party mood" because school was over. This photograph was taken in early November--classes won't start up again until early January. The seasons are reversed, of course, and our cold January will be their hot, summer January. Friendly, nice children and a school that was fun to visit. Well done, Patrick McHugh, fellow Fulbrighter! They're hugging their books/assignments...you must have done something right! This is the village school without running water. Who needs resources like water when you have human resources like these eager learners?
