Gabriel is a student who is going for his teaching degree at a university in Arusha. He is presently on break until January 2nd. While he is here he is staying in Mikumi. Once he finishes his schooling in May he will be coming back to the village and planing on being a teacher at the primary school near the village.
To the village staff Gabriel is known as the child whisper. After seeing him with interact with the children, I can see why the staff has given him this name. When ever he is around outside a swarm of children are gathered around him. If he is on the move there is almost always a child on his heals. Yesterday afternoon I was wondering why there were no Mikumi kids outside playing. I went in to Mikumi to see if they were in there. They were all in the boys room sitting nicely on the floor. I looked in to see what they were doing there and sure enough there was Gabriel on the bed talking to them. The kids looked like they were memorized in what he was saying. So, if you notice that the playground is quite, then search for Gabriel and you will most likely find the kids with him. :)
