MY VISIT WITH KIMANI MARUGE DAY 2

Today, I visited Maruge, from The First Grader. He seems like a nice guy from his smile lines, so I'll stay with him for about 7 days. He is kind of elderly now, but not the "you kids get off mah lawn!" kind, he is the kind that is very kind, has a kind of hoarse voice, and walks with a slow hobbling step. He is now "the second grader"(get it? he he he) and knows simple math.

         He offered me some sweet milk that tasted really good, and some food. He seems lonely, since he has no wife or kids. I wonder how someone so lonely can be so nice. I wonder how many (if any) friends he has.

I like how you describe the situation in the African schools, how there aren't enough desks and teachers to go around. I also like how you use humor and formatting things (like font) to draw attention to certain parts of your posts. I also like how you put some videos in your blog, not just pictures. It helps to get a better sense of what you want me to see because it isn't just one still picture in time.
