Each community has its own way of entertaining its children. One of the communities Frank and his team work with, had invited us to attend their so called 'donkey races' . The name already speaks for itself: the children race with their donkeys and the fastest one wins. When we arrived, many children from the area had already gathered and were very excited to see the donkeys and their riders. After the first whistle the animals were supposed to ran off towards the school building, then turn around, and continue their way back to the starting point. At least, that was the plan. In reality, many of the donkeys and riders went in different directions and even the big audience didn't know where to look or where to stand or sit. In the midst of all the chaos, it was clear though that all children were really enjoying themselves and were happy with some entertainment in their dusty community. I do hope the donkeys also enjoyed it the same way...
