Ms. Nanji, a slightly clumsy Grade 2 teacher, moves to Nairobi, Kenya to teach for two years. Although this is not a new place for her, this is the first time she's lived away from home for so long. What could possibly go wrong? She learned a lot of great things while training to become a teacher, such as, ahem, punctuality. However, she is not prepared for the events that take place on this particular day. What does a teacher find embarrassing? How many pieces of cake does it take to ruin two pairs of pants? Will she have to deal with African animals in her classroom? How bizarre can a day at school truly be? Will she ever recover from this day? And what will the students think?
