19/11: Just children

Back to work again. There were very few children present, about ten and only one from top class. They started doing work and did that for some two hours straight before it was break time. Then it was snack time and then they went home at 12, so I got off early. There was one new guy who kept hitting me, I got really mad, but what could I do? Hit him back? That would undermine everything I have worked for, so I made it quite clear that what he was doing is wrong. On the way to the matatu a woman came walking with a toddler trailing behind her. She pointed to the toddler and said: “you can have this one,” then she touched her obviously pregnant belly and said: “I have another one.” I didn’t know what to say so I just said: “no, thank you.” Then I went to the cyber café and spend some two hours answering emails. After that I went home again. There is something I have noticed here a lot as I think I mentioned, there is a lot of street children here in Nakuru. Many of them has a bottle permanently held up to their nose, sniffing it. Prisca says it is something to clean shoes with and that of you give them money that is what they will buy. They are just children.
