Here are some replies to 6C’s questions and one or two odds and ends that I forgot to mention in recent blogs:

1. How is the food? (by all the boys) I haven’t yet seen what the children eat, but it’s soup with beans and other pulses. I brought lots of tinned fish, rice, onions, soup, tinned fruit and fruit juice and two huge bunches of bananas so I am eating like a lord!
2. How is your tent?
 Tent’s brill…it’s thick army stuff…not like a modern lightweight one. I ‘m as snug as a bug in a rug. 3. do the children play sports, if so, which ones?
 I haven’t seen what the children have done in Games until now, but they have no equipment whatsoever, and so they loved playing with the footballs. The boys played football and the girls tried volleyball. They had a whale of a time! 4. What are the other teachers like?
Mr Moses is about 35 and very commited to the school. Mr Joseph is too, and both of them are still studying. Patrick is a student teacher who helps with the classes, and Benedict is a little older and very smiley. They are ALL so welcoming!5. Are there any naughty students (or teachers)? I haven’t been here long enough for the children to start trying it on. The teachers are all very good, apart form the new English one writing now….
6. what is the most common name for the children?
 There are a mixture of Kenyan and European names and I made the children laughed today when I took the register. I expect I shall get to know all the children in time.

Mr P….thank you for livening up my dull dronings with your clever embellishments. Kuma matata! No problem!

Mr Green…I can’t get remote access to the school email service…can you think of a reason? (Not a reason why I'd want to, a reason why I can't!)

Mrs Barber...I hope that you are enjoying teaching the children!

Mrs Colgan…will you phone my other half to get my home email so that I can email you personally, and you me?

Apologies if I have missed some other questions from you...I'll look again tomorrow.
