I saw my grandmother who lives next door leaving Manyelti
Primary School today. I asked her if she was going to school. She excitedly said,
“Yeah!” and whipped around to show me her backpack! So adorable! Apparently
they have adult afternoon classes where you can go to brush up on certain
subjects. Particularly for those who may have dropped out of school when they
were younger. It’s so inspiring to me that even as her age she is still looking
to better herself and keep learning.
All of my scholars and some from the other community came to
my mom’s sister in law, Treasure, to get measured today for their outfits. Everyone
had bought fabric and wanted certain things made. I talked her up and soon had
a whole list of people who wanted something made. She was so sweet and grateful
for me bringing her so much business that she took me aside in the kitchen and
said, “You do such a good thing for me. I must make you something else as a
gift.”
My mom is on two of my scholars design team. She has started
saying, “I have school today at ‘such and such time.’ “ HA!
