Graduations tanzanian style:

I went to the form IV graduation ceremony for my neighbor's/headmaster's son Bahati this past saturday. It was very different then graduations in America for many reasons. One being that school is not over until December 5, but they like to have the graduations before the series of exams (that start in October) to see if one will pass Secondary school and be able to continue to Advanced Levels. Second being that there is NO school graduation. So church groups host their own graduation. The one this past week was for the Luthern church. I was technically a guest of honor, meaning I can sit at the head table and get free sodas but I dislike that sort of attention so I just gave a donation and sat in the crowd

All in all it was fun mostly to hang out with all my students in a non-school environment. And weird seeing them not in uniform....some of the girls even wore jeans.

here is a pic of the graduation boy, Bahati and family
