The primary school at sunrise on my walk to school.
The S.D.A. Secondary School crest. Motto: Training for Time and Eternity.
(Sierra Leoneans love mottos)
My JSS2, JSS3, and SS class building. We have another building for the JSS1 classes. Having a two story school building is pretty rare. Go S.D.A.
School compound. This is where they hold chapel on Wednesdays.
A tall Sierra Leonean. Say what!?!
One of my JSS2 classrooms. This is the nicer of the classrooms.
My students marching for the arrival of the president. My students are the ones in the white shirts and khaki bottoms. The yellow and green uniforms are for the S.D.A. primary students.
Village pics. This is Florences house/kitchen (the outdoor huts are the kitchens). Florence runs the radio station in Yele. She's pretty cool.
The ever present burned out buildings from the war.
Typical Yele home.
Another kitchen.
This is the path I walk on every day to go to school.
The court barrie. This is where all the village meeting stuff goes down.
The primary school.
This is the eLuma construction site
The Teya river. It's super low right now because it's the end of the dry season. Hopefully it'll fill back up soon.
Possibly my favorite spot in Yele. The NGO workers in town have a hammock and I periodically go over to read in it. It's great.
Thanks for posting these. It's good to have a visual picture of what your life is like there.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is sooooo big!!! Also- are those the new power lines? And what kind of trees? Thank you for posting--nice to see your digs. -Lauren
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. I hope that you are enjoying yourself and enjoying the African sun still :) I am currently in Costa Rica studying. But waiting for a Vermont summer and then finally my last semester at college! Thinking of you :)
