Our World (according to Yosip)

I love this picture.  This is where we live.

This is the world according to Yosip.  He's in 2nd grade at the school where I work.  He's from a village that's about a day's walk from here.
The little houses in the middle, that's his village, his home.  The bridge to the left goes over to his family's garden.  He labeled that big brown area "Landslide area".  You can see the various tunnels built by the mining company, a couple of the big rivers and the dock at the portsite.
And what's that in the top right corner?  It looks like a little city in the rain.  Yep.  It is.  That's where we live.  That's Tembagapura.  :-\  Right on the money, Yosip.  Well done.  It's perfect.  :-)   :-/

This is the school where I teach!


Here are students fighting to get their snack in the canteen!

Here's a middle school English class
(one of my favorites).














Here's me with some random students in front of the school.















Here are some kids playing some marbles before school. Friday is "Sport Day" (note the sports jerseys).
