Bro-tastic

After having a fun day last week with the Lusaka girls that can best be described as an afternoon full of girl activities, we decided it would only be fitting to have the boys over to do some quality male bonding, whatever that looks like. After much planning and contemplation on what a guys’ day is supposed to look like, the other interns and I came to an agreement that we would serve the boys popcorn, fanta, and a treat while putting on a movie to hopefully keep their energy levels under control, as these boys (just as most) can quickly get out of control. As soon as the last of the crew straggled into the office yesterday afternoon, we allowed the boys to vote on which movie they wanted to watch for their special afternoon, and without question Lion King won by a landslide. How fitting while in Africa. So the afternoon went. We put on the movie before things could get too out of control, while the interns mastered the kitchen with popcorn (we are pro’s after the girl’s day) and chocolate chip cookies. While we finished up in the kitchen and brought out their special treats, there was an overflow of joy and laughter from these crazy boys as they all watched and enjoyed the movie. Endless laughter filled the room with each funny line in the movie, as well as tremendous excitement over popcorn and cookies. It didn’t take long before there was a mess of popcorn all over the floor, and the boys came into the kitchen asking for a broom to clean up their mess. What an eventful afternoon, spending it with 15 crazy boys hyped up on sugar. I’m sure you can imagine the chaos that ensued. Here are some pictures to give you a little glimpse of what our afternoon with the boys entailed. I feel like these pictures capture their personalities and our afternoon together so well.
