Sports day!

Today was sports day at the school. We invited 3 other neighboring schools to come play. The girls competed in netball and the boys in football (soccer). The my school did wonderful! The girls used the ball from Ryan during their games. It quickly went from a bright blue to a brownish grey, but it held strong as promised.
After the sports day many of the students were still around so we played a big game of catch/throw the ball at the person not looking. Some of the teachers even joined in.
Mom bought 4 jump ropes for me to bring to the kids here. I brought them to the school today. We tied them together to make 2 long ones and we jump roped for a long time. The kids did it for about 2 hours. They had many songs to jump to. I was able to jump in and jump just fine, but jumping out was a bit of an issue. First off I haven't done that since about 6th grade, and second, I had no clue it was my time to jump out because their songs were in local language! Finally one of the teachers, laughing at me, started yelling "JUMP OUT! You are finished!"
I am stating to think the teachers get more excited for the candy I take than the students.
Last year my mom, my aunt, and I all sponsored a different student. My student has since moved on to secondary school and is doing great. My mom's student wrote her a lovely letter. My aunt's student gave her two oranges. Sorry Rita, those oranges are not going to make it home!
As most of you know, I hate squirrels. I respect them and give them their space but I hate them. Here people love them because they kill snakes. I tried to explain why snakes are less scary than squirrels at dinner, but no one bought it..
