 The new school year begins with children appearing in the
dugo (sunken floor) with their parents in tow. There is a
quiet discussion with all as to the commitment and
requirements and then a check with Datu to see if he will
accept the people from new families of other villages.
This year we have children from three new
villages, they
are much shyer and older that the other children, but they
must have heard the stories and decided its worth a try.
We have about 130 kids this year and 32 of them are
staying in the dormitory at this point. The problem is
again the dining room table, it is not long enough, but no
one really worries.
