My Friend Famita

The children also each take a class about the Quran, and Famita said this is her favorite class.

 

What is your homework like?:

Famita has a workbook she takes home and is supposed to fill out some pages with the correct answers before returning to class. 

What do you like to do after school? Do you have a favorite sport or game?:

She likes to play patty-cake-like games with her friends. They sit in a circle and have songs in Wolof, Pulaar, and French that have motions that go with them.

 

Who is your favorite famous person?:

Banti Mijo is a music artist who came to our town and gave a concert. She said she really likes his music! 

 

What kinds of music do you listen to?:

She said she likes all music, but I definitely see her dancing to EDM music next door. So, I think dance, loud, party music is her favorite type. 

What would you like to be when you grow up?:

She really likes learning to cook right now and hopes to be able to make lots of good food one day. So, she would definitely want to be a chef!

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?:

She said America, but we were already talking about it, so this may have swayed her opinion!

What do you know or think about the United States?:

She knows that it takes a long time to get there on a plane, and she knows that Usumon and I really like eating eggs, so Americans must eat eggs. She also thinks that Americans are very large because we have lots of food.
