Art for Gorillas

We are ready to present our guests with our project objectives, the typical class format, and the ways we must work together as we continue with our coverage of our recently held Parents as Partners Open Houses.

Students perform.
AoC students perform a skit telling the story of illegal hunting and poaching of trees in the forest.

Donat, the school’s director, gives a speech.

I am not one who necessarily thrives on this type of event but it seems to be part of the role I must play as director of the project.

Janvier is Volcanoes National Park’s Community Conservation Warden. Here he amuses the kids about their growing English language skills, their personal hygiene practice, their commitment to being conservationists, and so on.

After a round of speeches by the pastor of the church, a local leader, a proud parent, and Team AoC, more skits are performed. It is definitely time to poke fun at me and I am loving it all. Students sing and perform about our three hand-washing rules.

I see kids in class were truly listening!
