Fast learner

The 6-year old daughter of one of the cleaning ladies always comes up and says hello (with a big hug!) to all the staff members before going to school. This morning, she came into my room while I was just 'installing' myself and the laptop that I'd brought with me. She looked at the laptop with curious eyes and just stared at it while it was starting up. After I'd entered the password, I briefly went to the other room to greet her mother and- like always in Sudan- we starting talking about all sorts of things. After a few minutes I went back to my desk and what I saw there really made me smile. The girl was sitting behind my laptop, with one hand on the mouse, watching the photos in my digital photo gallery! What a fast learner!
