Water and Rainbow School
Authored By:
Good Afternoon,
We had an exciting day yesterday, another busy adventure. The morning began with a lecture from our professor Keabile (KB) on Water Resources. After discussing water challenges in an arid environment, such as Botswana, we tested samples for pH, turbidity, and oxygen saturation.
We ate lunch at the mall called Game City and ordered from Mugg & Bean and Nandos. After, we went straight to Rainbow School again. Each Wednesday the school has an afternoon assembly and yesterday we celebrated Bastille Day, the French National Day. Rainbow students read poems in French and English, explained some French history, and had a fashion show to celebrate France's high fashion.
To finish out the day we played a basketball game against Rainbow school, and won! Luckily we had a couple students who are basketball players. Many more of our students play soccer, so we transitioned to a game of football (as it's called in Botswana).
To round out the day we stayed for the play at Rainbow, which was The Crucible this year. Thank you so much for hosting us Rainbow, our students enjoyed sharing the day and getting to know you!
