Where are we????

This week has been a complete sensory overload. I don't know what day it is, I don't know what we will be doing on any given day, whatever plans were made a couple of hours ago have now changed, it is totally disconcerting.  The only given is that the sun will rise and set.

Let's see .... we did the Fan Fest ... we did the lunch at the resturant .... I can't upload videos of the kids singing ..... even the fact that I have posted three posts this evening .... that is a rare occurence and the inter net has only gone down a few times, meaning that two of these posts have been done at least twice if not three times.

:(

But here we are.

Back to the LEAP School.  Here are some random photos of the school to give you a visual image of where I am spending my time - this is the courtyard outside of the main building ...

A shot of the main building ...








Leap 1 is on the first floor.  Leap 2 is on the second floor. These are two completely different schools, both in the same building.  I asked why this was so, wouldn't it be much more effecient to combine the two schools into one, and the answer made sense. 

Leap 1 students are from Langa.  The class size is 20 or so.  All of the students know each other and they are friends.  The LEAP buss picks them up together and they go home together.

Leap 2 students are from Gutela (I think, and the spelling is wrong.)  Same theory of friends being together.  If they were to mix Leap 1 and Leap 2, students would miss out on the strength of having their friends in their classes, so it makes sense.

The school looks big and nice.  It is old.  It needs paint.  Things are falling apart.  That is the nature of Cape Town.
