Science Fair – words that strike fear into the heart of every parent. 
There was a lot of work put in by the kids this 
year, and we are glad they were able to choose topics that all of us found interesting. Ben had a great time making home-made instruments and testing pitch on real instruments. His grasp of the subject matter when he was dictating the report as I typed was incredible.
He says that from now on he is going to collect homemade instruments.
Toby’s project was quite painful for us, as we had to taste three varieties of hot peppers, along with two other victims volunteers.
It turns out that eating hot peppers DOES raise your body temperature! The local variety that we buy in Nampula are super hot, and we’ve dried some to bring them back to USA and distribute them among hot pepper afficianados. 
Both boys learned a lot, which I think was the whole point, and were pleased with their grades and the response of everyone at the Science Fair. We are thankful for the good school that they attend, which has about 70 students from 7 African countries and 6 countries further afield! – C
