I felt a little hand in mine. I looked down. It belonged to a 5 year old child, beautiful black skin wearing colorful red sweater and orange hat with curly cue hair. She wasn’t letting go. She wanted to say hello to General Yeager and thank him.
She wanted a photo. But wouldn’t give me back my hand to take it. Her little boy friend in yellow and blue came up to join us as we all watched the pot (which did boil) full of the meat from the very large blue wildebeest General Yeager had shot the day before.
New best friend
Big wildebeest - lots of meat
The government of Namibia gives schoolchildren maize daily. Meat is a treat.
We talked to the older kids:
Students listening to Chuck Yeager
And they sang and danced for us – in beautiful harmony. We thanked them.
Then lunch for younger kids first:
Wildebeest - a treat for the kids
Very happy kids:
Chuck Yeager's wildebeest went a loooooong way!
Enjoyed visiting:
Teacher at Namibian school thrilled to meet Chuck Yeager
and get her picture taken with him. We were too.
We’ve donated books to the school libraries in Namibia and a DVD documentary. The principal told us of some of the successes and some of the challenges.
We enjoyed our visit; eventually taking leave to go hunt some more meat for the kids.
