Bolting into Christmas

Metaha,

This weeks class started with a big bang. The volunteers surprised the learners with new bright yellow backpacks. It was hard to tell which was brighter: the bags, the children's eyes, or the hot Namibian sun. The bags were donated by Bicycles for Humanity, Melbourne Chapter. So a big thank you goes out to them for the wonderful Christmas gift for the children. I hope the pictures show their happiness.

The children checking out the cool bags, look at those smiles!

A little posing with their new bags.

After giving out the bags, the children relaxed and took mental notes on the movie Bolt. It is a great movie for the kids, and they loved the action-based dog. While watching the movie, the volunteers would periodically pause and ask questions that were written on the white board. This helped improve the comprehension for some of the younger children. It was also great for the children to be able to see the words on the television as well as hear them.

Still wearing their bags while watching the movie.

Folo helping with the comprehension part of the movie.
