What a shocker (part one)

Where has the last week gone? Our last week of 'freedom' had us making further progress on the school storeroom on Monday and Tuesday, things are looking much better there now. Wednesday we travelled into Kampala to pick up Joshua's glasses at last. They have made a big difference to him already. We also got some much needed supplies before the holidays. Thursday was spent helping to set up for the school breakup on Friday. We also managed to get our wee darling down from the home for a while each day too. The main event though was the school breakup. It started at 10am and went until 3.30pm when the children ( and adults)were fed (all 500 people).
It was a celebration however with each class doing three items of song and/or dance with the odd drama thrown in. There are 8 classes so you can imagine the preparation needed. The parents also performed (without us thankfully) and all in all it was a great day. The boys then got their 'Christmas' boxes of goodies and their reports.
The photos show Richard( on the left) singing with actions with his class - it looks a classic on video.

The second photo shows Marilyn and Joshua accompanying P3 class for one of their songs. Joshua has really taken to the keyboard and is just lapping up anything that Marilyn can throw at him to play. What's more, he practises without being told.

The next photo shows the P5 class doing one of their songs with Owen in the second row,second one in with Timothy beside him and Matthew in the green jersey and red tie at the side. Matthew was responsible for opening and closing the curtain all day.



Finally a dance by some students in Richard's class which was quite delightful, especially the boy.
More to follow.......
