Greetings, we have nearly survived the second week. Another busy one. We started the children on 'chores' this week. We have nine departments who have two children each morning from 9am - 10.30am to help with the chores. The children are each involved on three days only in the week and they have been very enthusiastic about helping. One of the photos shows Brenda and Sandra as guards in full uniform which they enjoyed so much that they stayed on duty until lunchtime. This is the third time we have done this in the holidays and,so far, the children have been much more responsible about turning up. We have included the 8yr olds for the first time these holidays.
On Tuesday afternoon we organised some craft activities for 'our' group (32 children altogether) as can be seen by the photos. Some great Christmas crafts were created and we were grateful to the 'visitors' who helped supervise.
Wednesday was our day out and rather than go shopping in Kampala we chose to go to Jinja for a swim. The weather was great and we were able to relax a little but, before we knew it, we had to return home. It was good to be able to snooze and read without interruption.
Today we had a games afternoon at the school, soccer and netball, which not only tired the children out, but us also. We had some great help from others but we were still needed for 'crowd control'.
Tomorrow we are having a Pictionary evening with our 'group' so should be fun, then next week we begin rehearsals for our pageant for Christmas day. Life is never dull.
We have a family of six arrive today from Canada and they are keen to help out over Christmas time so we will try to use them as much as we can, which would be good.
Please pray for an extra portion of patience and energy for us as we are beginning to feel quite tired. Our joy each day continues to come from Rhode who seems to be trying new things every day.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Till next time
God Bless
