Description This was taken only seconds after getting out of our Mikrolet as we walked up to San Sebastians primary school and this wasn't even half the kids that were there waiting for us!
All of these kids were so happy to see us, even tho they probably didn't know who we were or what we were doing. They even sang and danced for us! We were more nervous than the kids....and we didn't even have to do anything except sit/stand and watch!
Altho it was extrememly hot, we all let very excited and anxious to go back in the days to come and achieve what we had originally set out to achieve.

Great photos are always better when there are great stories behind them!

they got the message across. that's quite funny. we've invented all this language and grammar and syntax and stuff and when it boils down to it, you really don't need any of it to communicate.
