I spend a lot of time with kids in my village in Togo. I teach at the middle school, and there’s lots of kids in my neighborhood. I have crayons, coloring books, sticker-by-number books and chalk at my house, so kids like to come by to draw as well. For this interview I talked to Delphine Ago, aged 13, who lives a couple of houses away from me. I have known her since the first day I arrived. She likes to help me fetch water, and I help her study English. Often, we start an afternoon by studying English together, but she soon turns it into time to ask me lots of questions! It was good to turn the microphone around on her this time!
I have translated her answers from Kabye and French into English.
For breakfast, I eat porridge or leftovers from dinner. For lunch and dinner, I eat pâte.
[Pâte is a paste made from corn flour that is beaten into hot water. To eat, you form the paste into a ball in your fingers and then dip it into sauce.]
