many class activities

12 Wednesday I bought 2 ducklings. It was massive maoists meeting day with buses over-filled of people shouting Lal Salam. No damage to report.

the 19 was democracy day. Some schools closed but for us it was a good opportunity to show the children how to vote. For the purpose we used a sweet box coming from London via Izzy's luggage. We explained the role of an elected representant, the meaning of voting boots and also different ways to vote, included with hands up. For real the nepalese elections should occur on the 10 April.
To help me I had to representant of a democratic country (not yet the case for Nepal): Noemie (smiling) and Lucie (standing up).
It was a special pleasure to see the children smiling while voting.

The previous day I made the same children work their imagination by writing a dialog between each of them and Gandhiji who's coming back 60 years after having been assassinated. Hard, hard ! not to help they had technical problem as you can see on the photo!
Nonetheless that they live in Nepal which is not their country made them produce interesting questions... sometimes. To see them, wait a bit, they'll have to type it on their own and start to fill their new blog : http://school-in-nepal.blog.com
In class V, Sonam is a boy of perfection in all topics, math, english, sport or music and he loves drawing. He drew a very weak Gnadhi with a big head exhausted by carrying a weight of 100g. But after I told him Gandhi walk lot more miles than lot of people could, he gave more strength to Gandhi. Beware, the new Gandhi comes to kick your ass! This young tibetan boy loves reading and has already got ideas of his own. On the question does God exist, no will be his answer without any hesitation... but wouldn't have thought that Buddha thought alike!
