After weeks of practice, Cameroonian children 6,931.3 miles away* are marching out of step to the tune of nationalistic music. Teachers are gnawing on pepe-soup** soaked kanda***, enjoying their eighth 650 mL beer. And somewhere in the village, the principal is either beating a wayward Form 3 student, chopping money from the school fees, or both.Today is Youth Day. I sometimes wonder what my former students are doing now.

**Pepper soup. Delicious.
***Singed skin of cow. Not delicious.
