graduation

so my students graduated from english class this weekend. we had a bit of a ceremony and i gave them all matching fabric so they can all have matching outfits. the quintessential gift of benin. here's vincent (his english name was vinnie) receiving his certificate and gift.

i'm very proud of each student. they worked so hard! it's been especially fun to watch those that were too scared to even try at first... now they laugh at their mistakes and give it their best. good times.
