Today was one of the best days I’ve had in Mozambique. The kids in the above picture spent the past three weeks preparing a small play as part of the “Theatre Group” during the mandatory three weeks of summer activities that go on at my school after the end of classes for the year.
At the end of the three weeks, on the day that final grades are posted, the school hosted a small festival and all the different groups of activities (basket-making, singing, dancing, theatre, sewing) presented their activities for their parents, teachers, and fellow students. My students from the theatre group, as well as the little group of boys who call themselves “Real Heat” and sing rap music about social change, presented. The audience reacted with laughs and cheers for the play, and clapped along to the music. I was very proud of my students, and happy to have seen a fruitful product of some time well spent with these kids.
