Today was the last day of
the 2012 school year. Whoop! Whoop!
After results were
distributed and discussed, the classrooms swept and scrubbed and the grass
outside the school slashed we celebrated in true Sudanese style…
How?
Well, for months Kim and I
have been saving our tin cans, empty shampoo and lotion bottles, egg cartons,
cardboard boxes and well, (don’t judge!)
most of our garbage.
There was jumping up and
down, spontaneous clapping, shouts of joy, uncontrollable laughter, dancing and
the biggest smiles of the term today while our students chose a partner and
took turns picking their “treasures” from our trash bin.
Once the materials were
distributed each group set to work making their very own terah (planes) and
toromile (trucks).
Their joy was contagious.
We all had a good time! For, as the saying sorta goes, one teacher’s trash
is another student’s treasure!
