Enjoy every moment in Namibia

青年海外協力隊として、ナミビアで活動する約1年9か月

usual is not always usual

I will also write in Japanese because I got complains from Japanese friends:)

Today is after teacher's day, we have only Friday, and many teachers said they don't want to teach. So my volunteer friend in other country asked me "How many teachers did come?". Actually all teachers came!! I don't know it's exactly all, but it seemed all for me. We had staff meeting on Friday, some teachers were late, but all teachers came. When I got that message from her, I realized it's not usual. It's usual for me, it's usual in Japan, but it's not usual in other countries. Teachers in Bunya are doing well. Maybe not only because principle is strict. I appreciate to this environment. 

In 4B class, I also made name tags and took pictures. In this way, it's easier for me to remember student's name. I can call their name. It's good for each other. I want to remember all student's name as soon as possible even there are 56 students in each class. 

This is W Karupu with hand made soccer ball. Nice ball!!

This afternoon I went to Rundu for shopping because I have a plan tomorrow. On the way to Rundu, the driver stop here and buy sweet potatoes. Big bag is N$40. I bought small bag, N$12, about ¥100.

ティーチャーズディ後の金曜ということで、何人の先生来た?と、他の国のボランティアの方がメールをくれましたが、ブンヤはみんな来てました!それが私には普通だし日本でも普通だけど、他の国じゃ普通じゃないんだなぁって。ブンヤの先生たちは頑張っていて、そんな中で働けるのはありがたいです。無駄なことにイライラしなくて済むから。

今日は4Bの平仮名名札も作りました〜。だんだん名前が覚えれてきて嬉しいし、子どもも嬉しそう。1クラス56人ずついて、今は3クラスもってますが、なるべく早く全員覚えたいです。

写真は左2人が、ダブルカルプ!カルプくんまたもや登場。かわいいですよね。2人とも4年生です。

そして、2枚目はルンドゥ行く途中でドライバーさんが寄ったおばちゃん達のミニ市。でかいさつまいも、40ドル。400円弱。小さいのを100円弱で買いました。

今日、ゲンダさんに、帰り際に週末用の事務仕事を頼まれそうになったけど、断りました。嫌なもんは嫌、週末は休みたいしするにしても自分の仕事だけ、断るときは断るし、はっきり言う!!大事!!
