First Day!

Today was the day that I got to meet Jesus Mary Laurette, Saint Augustine, and Queen G. Love! All the students were such a delight to teach! They are trying their best to learn English and are excited to have a "muzungu" teacher! (muzungu=white person; It is not uncommon for people, especially children, to shout at you, "Muzungu, Muzungu!" on the street because they are excited to see a white person. For the most part, they know that if you are a rare white person in Burundi, you are probably here to help the country, and they welcome our help.) Anyway, these pictures tell it best:

The students are excited to have their picture taken as not many Burundians have cameras.

Lyse Bernice, the precious girl who led us in the Lord's Prayer at the end of the school day.

Happy to learn and be at school!
