Tuesday, Nov 2

This morning we went in a van to the town ofHluhluwe and it's primary school, Intuthukoyanalulu.  They have grades R-7.  The school was very different then ours.  They had desks arranged kind of like ours, but everything else was very different.  We gave out school supplies that we had brought with us from home.  I gave my Hot Wheels car to a boy named Siyanda Masuku.  My sister gave her toy flower to a girl named Mbali Ngcobo.  When I was in the 3rd grade classroom I found that they were learning the same things tht we are.  They were working on multiplication and division.  And they had posters on the wall with nutrition facts and the months of the year written in English and in Zulu.  While we were at school the children began to have their lunch.  Everyone ate the same thing.  Rice and Beans.  After the school we went to KFC for lunch!  They have no drive through or biscuits and they call their fries chips.  We went to a Zulu museum and souvenier center to get some presents for friends.  After dinner we went on a night drive looking for a leopard.  We didn't see one but we saw a steenkvo, and a scrub haired rabbit.  It was too windy for most animals tonight.
