Today I put the new, flexible, go-with-the-flow Rhonda to work. We started out heading to a school for me to do a teacher training, but hit a bureaucratic wall and had to change all our plans. Instead, I met a couple of Halima's private students, first in her classroom and then out and about in the city. The images here are of the government building (last night), and then of some kiosks on the street, and men playing Backgammon. While there is mostly a modern attitude toward women here, there are still some areas where only men sit to gather, like this park area near the Puppet Theater, or certain restaurants. At the very end of the day I met with local TV journalists. They will be coming to film my lesson tomorrow when I train teachers (Boy, this lesson had better be good!), and they will also interview me. The journalists were very interested in looking through the issues of The Circuit that I brought here. They were very impressed with our ability to generate advertising revenue. This was an unplanned visit that has now turned into a plan to be on TV. I'd say that's pretty FLEXIBLE!
So happy to hear that you are doing well. Nice coverage! I shared this post with the class. We noticed that you followed the rule of thirds and repeating patterns in your photos. You are so cool and I am happy that you took this opportunity.
