Five university students and I loaded onto bajajes and
headed towards Gozamin Secondary School near the outskirts of Debre Markos. Our
goal was to teach the English Club about some of the activities we do in our
Coffee Talk programs. We want Alamayu, the club leader, to encourage speaking
skills since our university students come with almost none. Various students led boasting, singing, and share
your problem programs. Although most the of high school students were shy, a
few of the bold ones took part. For example, one boy pretended to be Haile
Selassie and his classmate was Belay Zelaka, a famous Gojami hero who was taken
to the gallows by Selassie. Several
students also gave advice to solve the problem of the student who claimed he
was always late for school and therefore beaten by the guard for his
transgression. Another university student taught the youngsters how they could
learn English through song.
