Sarah and I spent some time this morning trimming sheep hooves.  After lunch I had the opportunity to visit one of the schools for a presentation.  This was a "high school"- so 12-17 year old kids.  At all of the schools the kids wear uniforms so there is no indication of how much money someone has by what they are wearing.  There were about 200 students at this school.  When we got there, there were groups of kids carrying water and others tending a garden they had outside the buildings.  All of the students assembled in a courtyard type area for a presentation on tortoises, hedgehogs, and a python.  None of the presentation was an English though!  Our job as volunteers was to help hold and display the animals.  This school was in much better shape than the elementary school I visited a couple weeks ago.  The buildings looked fairly new and they seemed quite proud of their bathrooms.  Unfortunately I did not have a chance to see any of the classrooms at this school like we did at the elementary school.  


Fun crocodiles facts...  You can accurately estimate the power in the jaws of a croc by multiplying the weight by 22 and adding pounds per square inch.  They are also the only reptile that can adjust their heart rate independently of the weather.
