Saturday School

Saturdays after lunch, Kurt's house becomes a school. Marcia, Kurt's wife, has hired four teachers that come every Saturday and teach to more than 100 Ethiopian kids and teenagers who live around the neighborhood. I was very impressed with this family because they work everyday from Monday to Friday in an NGO helping extremely poor people improve their lives and still have time and energy to engage in these types of activities. Tea and bread are part of a small snack served after class. They also play games afterwards. The students are grouped according to their age. They have four groups and they learn social values among other things. They are also preparing a big party where they will perform some traditional Ethiopian dances and songs.
