Our First Week

It has been a wonderful week. The entire family greeted us at the airport, and have been very welcoming. We were shown around Kampala on Sunday, which we really enjoyed. We met the students who live at the school over the weekend, and met the rest of the P3-P7 students on Monday morning. The children sang songs and we handed out pencils to them. Tuesday was Heroes Day, so the students had a day off of classes. We decided to take on the project of painting the P3-P7 classrooms, and began with P7 on that day. On Wednesday, we observed and assisted the English teachers in the classrooms and joined the students for Field Day. We walked to the nearby field and played games for a few hours in the morning. We visited the Lower School on Thursday, where we handed out pencils and read stories to each of the classes. On Friday, we rejoined the P3-P7 English classes and then spent some time around Makindye. Yesterday we went to the Uganda v. Tunisia rugby match, which was a very fun outing. This weekend we are painting the P5 and P6 classrooms. So far we are enjoying our time here very much!
