“When I was a little girl I used to be playing marbles. My friends we used to always sit in the circle. Used to sit together and play the marbles after that we had to chase one another. It was called “leewar” in english its “chasey”. I used to be drawing in the sand that’s my game I always did that. Now I can paint those pictures on the canvas.” Jean Walmbeng
