Language & Learning

A former student at the teacher training college, Joshua, came up to me and began a conversation while I was sitting outside the staff room. One of the things that he mentioned about himself is that he had a friend, Mary, in the US. It turns out that “Mary” is Mary Beth, the former Peace Corps Response volunteer who served at TTC Kabarore. We are friends on WhatsApp, so I snapped this picture to send to her. She was grateful to connect with a former student.

Another student came up to me and told me that Jessica from Colorado taught him about basketball. It turns out she was a Peace Corps volunteer at a high school a few years ago.
