But he's not alone here. Normally students in his class tend to doze, are sluggish when doing their assignments and sometimes the teachers are under the same spell.
However, on Monday, this week, it was a different story to the teachers, pupils and the entire staff of ST Jude Primary School, Nagulu.
26th July, 2010 will remain in the records of ST Jude primary school, Nagulu as a special day when South Africa's renowned singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka and officials from Right To Play visited the school as one of the campaigns to fight against malaria.
Chaka Chaka, who is dubbed as the princess of Africa and has been at the forefront of South African popular music for 20 years attracted a lot of attention of both the pupils and the teachers since it was their first time to come face to face with her.
"Can you imagine it is my first time to see her physically, she looks beautiful" one teacher said to her colleague.
Pupils in different groups under supervision from their teachers and led by their group leaders demonstrated both to the artiste and officials from Right To Play on how children can use different plays under physical education to fight against malaria.
Pupils in their respective groups taught people what is malaria, how it is transmitted and how it can be prevented.
"I'm very impressed with these children's performances and they should take it to the parents such that they get to know how they can step up the fight against malaria," Chaka Chaka said.
Chaka Chaka who is a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) program ambassador in Africa has been travelling to different African countries and educating the children about this program she represents. blog comments powered by Disqus
