#5 Unique Christianville Educational Institute

The U.C.E.I. was the placement I had to volunteer at. I knew it was a school, but it is still a challenge since school systems can be very different from country to country. 

The first child I noticed was a little girl (18 months old) named Paula. I didn't know why she stuck out to me that much, but I immediately liked her! As time went by, I realized that little Paula looks like me when I was younger, from her appearance to her behaviour (strong willed) 

Left-Jaleesa, 2 years. Right-Paula, 18 months and Jaleesa, 25 years. 

The director mr. Appiah Kane was a very positive man, that looks like a cute teddy bear hihi. He had a lovely vibe, always happy and loves to smile. He gave us alot of freedom to do what we could do best. 

One of the best days at the placement for me is when we were in the Music lab. A 15 year old came in the room and started to play the piano. Another guy from the school was in the room and he started to play the drums. Eargasms! Such young boys and very talented, and they haven't even had music lessons. 

I also had another class, P4, and Mwana and I did some looming with them. They really enjoyed it and made some beautiful creations. 

And last but not least I spent time with kids from 4 to 6 years old. They were very smart and willing to learn. It was a joy to be part of this class as well. 

Guys I hope to see you soon again! Much love from me to you ❤️
