Volley!

Student life; most of us will associate these words with a busy social life, hanging out with fellow-students, engagement in student associations and, ofcourse, a bit of studying. But unfortunately for the students here in Kosti there is not too much to do besides their studies. There are hardly any places to go to or events to visit. But,..the good thing is: there is enough space! So, Frank got out his volleyball net and discussed with the students from the hostel next door whether they felt like setting up a small volleyball court. Clearly a simple net and a ball were enough to mobilize the majority of the boys in the hostel. Nowadays, as soon as the evening falls, the boys (including Frank ;) gather outside and enjoy the competitive game and their daily exercise. From my balcony I have the best view to watch the evening matches and to admire the audience of curious cows, donkeys and goats passing by. As soon as the mosque starts to be heard, the boys shake hands and thank each other for the nice evening. It turns out to be an exciting student life after all: Let's play volley!
