On my first day at the school, the kids stared and stared and stared, eyes wide and mouth agape. I can't imagine they would have stared harder if I'd sported horns and purple stripes on my face.
I seem to be the first white person most of them have seen.
Now they have graduated to mobbing me, the Fascinating Creature Who Smiles At Children and Speaks Weird-Sounding Words.
Life here is very simple. The kids don't use technology of any kind, toys, or books other than their slim textbooks. So it doesn't take much to become the center of attention!
When I first glanced at the title, I read "On getting robbed every time..." haha. I thought, what does Celina have that they can steal? -- Wonderful pictures of the children. It makes me sad, though, that they have no toys. Not even balls? Sidewalk chalk?
