Week 53: "We have a Surprise for you"

“We have a surprise for you!” exclaimed Mma Pule’s standard 2 class as they skipped into the library shortly followed by Mma Pule. Usually this means a fat cake or someone wants me to do extra work, however, Mma Pule instead pulled out one of their readers and five kids stood up saying they could read the whole page in English. This was the best surprise I could have asked for and came at the perfect time. I wasn’t sure who was more excited, the kids who could read, Mma Pule, or me. Regardless it gave me just the boost I needed in my midweek slump and reminded me that although I cannot always see it, I am making a difference in people’s lives just as they are making one in mine.

This week the “Bots 15s” arrived and their energy and enthusiasm is contagious, hopefully I was able to share some experience with them and become infected with their spirit.
