I still have at least 60 children in the classroom as before, and sometimes all 100. They are well disciplined, so even with so many in the classroom, it's quiet. But when we start crafts or games... =) The children sing very well, if the words are simple, and they love to dance and copy any new movements.
After the lesson, they crowd around me. They all want to touch me, taking my hand in their hands and leaning their face against my hand. They are interested in white skin. Outside, the children sometimes shout "efoone!" about us, which means "foreigner" or "white." The children try to get even a little piece of candy, which they call "toffi" here. They are willing to answer any question, even about history, to dance, carry things for you. Or they try to get it just by asking, "Toffi, Madam?"
Here, if they want something from you , they don't say, "Give me a banana." They say, “I like your bananas” (shoes, watch...), and you are supposed to guess on your own that you should give him the banana. Asking directly here is blunt. At the market, for example, if you do not want to buy what they are selling, they may say: "Buy one thing for me."
And what do you like that I have? =)
