MALIVANI V

We had different sorts of curriculum activities: all the usual ones that you too have had in your school plus gymnastics. This was my favorite. Do not misquote me here. I did not say I participated. I just loved watching them make those stunts. At least they kept fit. They used to miss some classes, first priority in surplus and got twice the fruits we the rest got. So I envied them. I am really thirsty. I want to take a bath. I want to wash my clothes. I need water. Water? Yes water, has been a rare commodity now in our school as at the entire people of Makueni for a long period due to lack of heavy rains, maybe, that is believed to sustain the residents before the next rainy season. Everyone was crying for water. It was bad. The cooks had to limit us from even drinking water. No one was allowed near the water tanks. We’d make ques to be served water. You had to be satisfied by all means since there was no addition, surplus, as we called second rounds on meals.
