Task Number One - still ongoing and probably will not be finished

The first few days were spent with getting to know the place and even more important learning all the different names and faces. Well, actually I am kind of still learning them; of the 390 kids I probably can connect names and faces of sixty.

By the way except for the faces of the really little ones, the people here look really different from each other but also in a different way than we do. The hair colour or style here rarely offer you any hints, however on the one hand every person here is as unmistakeable in their looks, behaviour and attributes as we are. On the other hand they all still share similar trademarks, which are simply different from us. For instance, these people are far more open, welcoming and maybe also happier than we are. At the same time punctuality or time management in general isn't their biggest strength. So usually one should always differ between English and African time as African time tends to be one hour later or perhaps the described distance of 15 minutes turns with our pace into 5. What I can say about these people is that they are all worth to get to know too and that we can learn a lot from their attitude to life in general.
