Nap Time in baby class



So whats been going on here... well I've spent alot of time at the school which I love, the kids are so excited to see you, talk to you, touch you, hold your hand etc 

 

Yesterday we went out with the chaps from the charity to a rural comunity to visit families who the charity have given pigs too to help them sustain their income - very humbling as these people were so grateful. At lunch we visited a family who have 4 children and they are so poor they can't afford to send them to school so I am going to sponsor the eldest daughter Justine to go to school at Jolly Mercy, so today I have been out and bought a trunk (made of tin) bed sheets a blanket, school bag, mosquito net, toothpaste etc etc and she will be starting school on Monday, It was very emotional.... I cried buckets and so did the mother of family, she kept saying 'you have been sent from god'  I am really looking forward to her starting school on Monday.

 

On Friday it is the election here in Uganda, its completely mad with all the candidates riding around on open top vans with massive sounds systems blaring out and hundreds of people riding around on their motorbikes beeping etc. The election is on Friday and we've been told NOT to go anywhere - except the school and our house, so we are going into the school to paint a picture on one of the walls - god knows what it will be like but at least we are trying!!

 

Got so much in my head to write but can't seem to get it on the screen but I guess you could say this experience is just blowing my mind, I am so lucky to spend this time with these wonderful people - a but gushy I know but thats whats its doing to me.

 

Anyway off to school tomorrow to help out in baby class in the morning (this is crazy) about 30 3 and 4 year olds going crazy wanting to touch the muzungu and then in P7 in the afternoon - these are the oldest kids and we sit in on their english language class which is hilarious as we haven't got a clue about some of the things they learn!! haha

 

Better go now....
