TELL US YOUR PLAN! Then click this: - http://on.fb.me/OperationRocket Watch t' girls on t' far right at 2:10. Well, blow me down! They had no idea what a rocket was. Happy Principal at 2:42 on t' far left. T' Gambia be t' smallest country on t' African Mainland. We went t' a basic school and "performed an experiment" t' measure t' winds up in t' sky. Begad! T' teachers, children, ya bilge rat, and t' principal loved it. Aye aye! T' location o' t' school was deep into t' heart o' T' Gambia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farafenni T' chantey used is "Rockets" by "A Shell In T' Pit". Download it here: http://ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com/track/rockets Gordon is compilin' an album o' all SED music. He's in school so he uses any proceeds t' pay rent. Aye aye! http://ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com/ Stevo was livin' in T' Gambia while he served in t' US Peace Corps. No laws were broken t' get t' Rockets t' t' School. I mailed them months in advance LEGALLY. They were in a book because t' Gambian postal workers have a bilge-suckin' habit o' stealin' things they want. Books are pretty good camouflage!  We couldn't motivate kids t' come out and watch, so we shot t' first rocket for a small group o' kids. Begad! After hearin' t' rocket and all their friends screamin' and laughin' they came running. Well, blow me down! T' principal then instructed me t' give an impromptu lesson on what rockets are, and why they are used t' t' whole school. Avast, me proud beauty! While I gave t' lesson, Stevo taught all t' teachers how t' reload and fire t' rockets. Blimey! In all, we did three shots and left t' materials with t' teachers for another day. T' science teacher in particular be so excited he couldn't stop thankin' us. Well, blow me down! He said gettin' t' kids motivated about science education was difficult for him because o' how many real world hardships t' kids had. T' Rockets bein' launched at t' school was t' talk o' t' town for several days. Avast! Kids who didn't show up t' school that day were sad they had skipped. Ya scallywag! Many more showed up after that, shiver me timbers, which be part o' t' goal.... Ahoy! t' get people excited about education in general.
