Here’s an update on what is going on in the life of Claude, our 13-year-old secondary (junior high) school student.
With opening schools still on hold and the music program finished until school opens, Claude wanted something to keep him busy. He has always liked the farm and the animals there. Yep, he is becoming a farmer.
Theresa, manager of the Sewing Center, made him a coverall to protect his regular clothes. Urukundo bought him a pair of boots, and he was ready to work.
Feeding and watering chickens takes up a lot of his day.
Claude said he does not like the pigs, and the cows are very big. I understand that. These broilers will be ready for market soon.
The cowboy is in the teaching mode, and Claude is the student. Being friends with the cowboy is very important. Cows are honored in Rwanda and being a cowboy is also an honored position.
The farm got a great helper, and Claude has a learning experience to his credit.
