Day 9
Today at monde primary school we continued our talk on geography. I lack any teaching experience so thought it was important to at least drill what we had already into the children so that it would not be forgotten. Normans frustration was clear when children could not answer simple questions. I had to make him understand that due to the lack of resources and learning in two languages was a big factor in their slow progress. I found that when Norman was teaching he had respect from the children. He used what I found to be old fashioned techniques but what would be best with the lack of resources he has to offer them.
Two other volunteers brought sugar treats for the children at the orphanage this afternoon. It’s was raining and this combination was a handful. We had hyped up kids stuck inside. Fun but exhausting.
