With the most unusual names. The roster is a mess of unpronounceable Chichewa names sprinkled with what seems to be any English that their parents might have heard and thrown in for good measure.
Highlights include:
Peter Sunday/Sundae (spelling differs according to his mood): A riot of a boy who has an uncanny ability to talk his way out of any situation. Also a savvy businessman - he tried to sell me the plastic bag he carries his books to school with for 200 kwacha (For comparison: A Fanta costs 70 kwacha). His family also owns the only guava tree for miles.
Heartwell Kamangwa: All the irony in the world has converged to make this boy the one who carries his intestines to school in a bag. Incidentally his heart is fine.
Ngalame Andrissana Mowawaa: I avoid calling this girl by name.
Briefing Blessings Abel Davies Taonani: Son of the headteacher who has wormed his way into Standard 7 at the age of 10. Believes his destiny is most certainly not in this village.
Michael Daniel Noah: Or Daniel Michael Noah. Or Noah Michael Daniel. Unclear.
Bornface Kind: With a name like that do you need a personality description?
