Learners with some part of the sheep

Getting ready to chop it up and braai it tonight. We will sell it for a dollar or two (10 or 20 american cents) a piece at miss da-palm, the schools biggest event, to raise money for the school. You can't believe how fast the meat goes!

Smile for the camera!

Mr. Benson, my colleague, holding the head of the sheep which will be thrown into a pot over a fire and enjoyed later tonight. We call this a smiley because when it is cooked the skin on the head shrinks and it looks like its smiling at you :)

The boys with a sheep...in parts!

I came to school today to work on some marking and show a movie and found some learners with a wheelbarrel lined with a bloody sheep skin and full of the insides of the sheep. The boys were drooling over the parts we would never touch in America. Literally no part goes to waste...they even eat the colon after they squeeze out the poo! Yum!

Some grade 9s!

Some of my grade 9 learners who were supposed to be in another class but wandered into my class during my off period. Its friday and no teachers are in their classrooms because they are cooking goat over a fire outside. I love chaotic fridays!

Best hamburger!

Swakop!
