Today was super fun!
The kids visited the radio station here, and apparently were on the air and sang a song! Cool, huh?
In music, we talked about the Professional Musician career of Percussionist! We talked about all the different percussion instruments you might see in an orchestra, and then we played some of them, and some percussion that is indigenous to Africa.
Later in the afternoon, I checked out some of the wares of some vendors who set up here where we are staying, and I purchased some fun African instruments! I also bought some porcupine quills to make into beads. I am very excited about that, and the man, Joseph, explained the steps to make it happen!
After dinner, some of the ladies went for a walk, and I had to exert much effort to keep up! I must be tired, because I definitely walked and ran more with less effort last week!
Then I played Rummikub with Elsie (the school coordinator), Suzanne (one of the moms), and Kate (a guest of Elsie, who has been in Cameroon researching for her doctorate). I haven't played before that I remember, but it is just like the card game rummy, so I caught on and did well. It was fun, though I have to watch my competitive streak!
And later on, I got to talk to dear friends at home in the States. It was so good to hear voices and read encouraging words.
I also got to chat with one of my friends who is in East Africa! I'm looking forward to visiting them soon.
