We just started a new group of kids in our HIV/AIDS club and we decided to play the name game so we could learn all their names. These kids’ English is not quite good enough to easily think of an adjective that starts with the same letter as their name, so we just had them think of any word that starts with the same letter as their name. We explained the game and it seemed to be going pretty well. “Healthy Haingura, Red Regina, Enjoy Emmy…” . Then we got to Victoria, she started well, “Healthy Haingura, Red Regina, Enjoy Emmy, Jam Jonas…and I am….. Victoria BANANA!” She shouted out gleefully! We all started laughing hysterically and her friend explained the game again to her, this time in Rukwangali. Ok, she got it and started again confidently, “Healthy Haingura, Red Regina, Enjoy Emmy, Jam Jonas…and I am ….Banana Victoria!” We all started laughing hysterically again (don’t worry, Victoria was laughing too, especially when she finally actually understood the game), it was a great moment and we haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! These kids are so much fun!
love you all,
Rachel
