School activities again and that means I have to get up early on a weekend.

As part of the program all government officials and teachers were invited to join and watched the program. Chosen schools were chosen to give a valued performance and being the champion in the poem reading the group was invited to render a repeat performance of the piece that they’ve won early this month. I sensed some pressures on the part of the trainor as teachers,district supervisor, government officials, dignitaries and Mayor Mon were there to watch them.

I saw Mayor and his foreigner guests smiling as they watch the children rendering ‘The Bells’ by Edgar Allan Poe’.
