Wednesday 17th

During the long school holidays IT runs a club for the kids they've taken off the street and put into homes. I went along this morning to help out, but there was no one there. Wednesday is their day off. Not wanting to waste my 700 frc taxi fare, I decided to stay there at the office and start work on the second store room. The room is full of clothes and it is my job to sort through them all, make a catalogue of what we have and store them nicely. It's pretty messy in there, although I must admit that on rare occasion my bedroom has looked worse! Some of the clothes are really nice, and while I tried them on, I fought the urge to take them home with me. It would have been like taking the poor man's only sheep.


In the afternoon I studied Kinyarwanda and had my lesson with Silas. That's what Thursday looked like too. I’m making real progress now. I’ve studied 7 of the 10 classes, having learnt most of them my heart – for some reason class 6 still eludes me. For each class you have to learn nounal, verbal, adjectival and possessive prefixes, singular and plural. It's sounds gruelling, but it still makes much more sense to me than French grammar.
