I have survived my first weeks.....I am known as "Mzungu" (white foreigner) and the little kids call this out to us as we pass....many children know English as they're taught it in school.
I've also been teaching in the nursery school (3yrs-5yrs) and they want to touch all the time - especially my hair - it causes mayhem and many tears as they fight with each other to get closer.
I love helping them with their numbers and alphabet - they all want me to check their work and give them praise!! It's an amazing feeling how much pride they can have in 'approval'.
