Reading Camp

I did a reading camp in Niankorodougou at the library there. It really makes me want to get a library in Sanga. We did all sorts of things during the week. Talked about AIDS, Malaria, early pregnancy, food hygine, read books, arts and crafts and sang songs.

The kids made paper airplanes.

This is the place where the classes were held. The library has the space for studying and classes.

I thought it was very nice. But I've been living in W Africa for a year. But it was!!

I worked with these 5 kids in our small group sessions. The book he is holding is about taking care of babies but more about family planning and the importance of not having children too young.

We also read as a class out of their books from 4th grade. All of the students are getting ready to start 5th grade. There is a BIG test they have to pass to be able to go to middle school called the CEP. In Sanga about 40% passed. But last year it was only about 20. Hooray Sanga!
