The 6 qualities discussed in this session are as follows:
Juma and Said are good friends. Yesterday they fought when playing football. They want to be friends again, but they are not sure how to start.
Sara and Alberto are becoming good friends. However, Alberto thinks that a relationship between a boy and a girl should be more than just talking about school and what they want to do in life.
A girl has come to stay in Thabile’s house from a place where there is war. Sara welcomed her warmly, but the girl wants Sara to be with her all the time as she feels nervous when she is on her own. Sara wants more time to do her school work and be with her friends.
Alexei lives with his father and stepmother. He is angry that his mother is no longer there and has difficulty in accepting his stepmother, especially when she does things differently (cooking, dressing etc.) from his mother. However, he is trying to build a better relationship.
Rashid is a lively boy who can be quite naughty. However, he feels that the teacher is always picking on him and punishing him for no reason. It’s not his fault when someone makes a good joke in class and he laughs!
