Now that I’m back, I have to get right back to work. Before I left I was organizing a community event for June 16th, Journée de l'enfant africain (Day of the African Child), with people from my Inspection, school directors, and school teachers. We are planning sporting events like soccer tournaments, track, and wrestling, as well as cultural events, like songs and skits performed by the primary and secondary schools. The planning has been great so far and everyone in the community is very supportive of the event and its activities. I'm very excited for it and I'm hoping for the best.
Before I left, I was visiting a lot of bush schools with my Inspector. It was a great opportunity to visit these schools and villages outside Aguie, particularly because I'm not sure when I will make it out there again. I was also working on organizing a girls soccer team at my middle school to compete in a tournament with other girls teams in the area. So far the tournament has been postponed due to lack of enthusiasm and organization but we're hoping to start by the end of this month or early June. The end of school is nearing, around mid-June, so soon the rain will come and the towns will be empty as everyone makes there way to the fields for planting.
