chess, marching ants, and can anybody spare a wheel?

Baba Steve has added "learning Chess" to the Tumaini activities.
Raymond plays and Kelvin is taking mental notes.

Raymond is a quick learner of the rules...

but will need to work on his strategy.

Everything at Tumaini is a spectator sport including chess.

Note the African board and pieces.

Mama Dee is playing one of the kids favourite new games "the ants go marching".

Pendo and Grace loooove marching.

Even Mary, who rarely cuts loose, is having fun.

They march on and on (ten verses i think).

Meanwhile, Liadi's trike is missing the front wheel. Still works though...

He can still wheel it around on the back wheels,

use it as a seat,

and pretend to be a "fundi", (tradesperson) and fix it.

With the dozens of hands and feet (and no TV) toys and bicycles get a lot of use here, and I am amazed at how well the quality brands hold up ....maybe we should do an advertisement for a toy company? hmmmm?
