Art project with kids

Today we toubabs had a fist lession with Childrens Rights Club. We were talking about environment, garbage, recycling etc. First group (3-7 years old) kids drew their favourite place, which was this street. They learned the basic colours and how to mix them. Second group (about 8-13 years old) made a colour circle and painted pictures of their homes and family members. Pictures became really nice allthough they had never used a paint brush before. Now those paintings are hanging on the wall of Sunu Keur and exhausted toubabs went to the nearest beach to relax for a while.

Adults have started english lessions for the first time. They have got a local teacher and 3 lessions a week. Sounds good to me, because we do not speak French. We learn a little more wolof every day and we get along just fine!

We are astonished by the senegalize friendliness and how easily we have settled down here in Sunu Keur. Project with children continues tomorrow morning and we: Tall, Short and Crazy need some sleep. (Babacar gave us names, in wolof of course)
Ba ci kanam! Toubab Veera
