First full day of school

Yesterday was my first full day in school.  I walked up to the school at 6:30, to unlock the school in preparation for the kids to arrive.  They come about 7 and there is about an hour before school starts, so you know what that means? That’s right, soccer and play time! Which by the way is a wonderful way to start out the day! The day is jam packed with learning and fun! It was also a special day because it was Stephen and Cameron’s (the current YASCers) last day, so the brothers came up from the monastery and there was tons of festivities and cake as the school bid those two farewells. 

After school I went into town to see what it was like, absolutely beautiful.  The town is relatively small, but the majority of people live out in the townships or as it is commonly known as the location.  The centerpiece of Grahamstown is the Cathedral, which is the biggest building in town and is located in the center.

After my brief tour in town, Cameron, Stephen, Ntsika (one of the teachers at the school) and myself had an invitation to dinner by Jenny, the school’s nurse at her house.  She whipped us up a fabulous meal of what was almost like Shepard’s pie.
