We had a great time with the Grade 8’s at Mukombwe – we taught them how to have a proper water fight ! What a luxury – we don’t have to pump all the water from a borehole here.
Another luxury is electricity so we let them watch DVDs on the laptop in the evenings – they thought Chicken Run was hilarious but they were also roaring with laughter in Lord of the Rings– the bit where Legolas slides down the eliphaunt’s trunk in the big battle.
Surprisingly, Monopoly is proving to be a great hit – some of them, obviously budding business entrepreneurs, were lending their friends Monopoly money when they couldn’t pay the rents after landing somewhere really expensive.
