Valentines Day - Teachers Party

What does Valentines Party with the teachers look like in Namibia. Here are some great shots of the party we had for the staff. The thing is this is in the middle of one of the class periods! So all the kids are sitting in their classess waiting for a teacher to come! Unfortunately this is normal but I am lucky that I didn't have a class at this time. We joked around and voted on Mr. and Mrs. Valentine for both the kids and then the teacher. This was the person who was the most dressed up for Valentines day. The kids were excited to be able to wear something other than their uniforms! We also ate brotchens with meat and generally joked around.

(fourth picture) - Ben and Milka. These are my two favorite teachers. Ben is new this year but is a really nice guy and fun to hang out with. He is the nicest male teacher and the only one who doesn't spend half the time hitting on me! Milka is probably my closest friend here in Namibia. She is so funny and we laugh a lot together. She is a really nice and we hang out when we both get a chance. We have had some great mini road trips to the town that is next to ours, about an hour away. And she lets me drive her car!
