Dang-Sou,

The
guard/janitor, who barely speaks French, meaning that
we communicate mostly with sign language. |

Limigue,
the Chef de Classe of 2eU1. Each Class elects a
'chief,' who is responsible for keeping attendance, and
maintaining order. |

of our two Surveillants, in charge of discipline,
registration, etc. |

A
view of the new building, which we began using in February-
there are eight classrooms on each story. |

and relaxing before the first bell, just like classes everywhere
else in the world. |

The
10:15 récréation, when students have

Salle des Professeurs, or Teacher's Lounge. |

list of currently employed teachers- there's at least one
very non-Chadian name on the list. |

My
2eU4 class, who were harder to control than my other classes,
but with quite a few very intelligent students. |
| More
students of U4. |
