Time for a short break to go to the toilet if we need to, and afterwards the subject is Christian Religious Education. This is mostly teachings and stories from the bible.

The school cook, Mama Masika is busy preparing our lunch. The smell is so good it is hard to concentrate on the teacher talking.
Lunch time and playtime. The school bell rings which means lunchtime –great! We take it in turns to wash our hands.
We then get given our lunch. Today we are eating rice and beans.
Some of the little children may sit at a small table they have in their classroom but as there is no dining room most children just sit on the floor to eat.
We eat the food with our hands. It is delicious. I feel much better after I have eaten. For some of the children is it their one main meal of the day.
After lunch I go and play with my friends. We don’t have toys so we play with what there is. We like to make mud pies.
Some of the girls enjoy skipping. They made a skipping rope from palm tree leaves.
Some of the older children go and play with an old football.
Some of the girls just watch all that is going on. It is nice to just relax and observe.
