Warwick's 'quiet' birthday

 The band playing "Happy Birthday", a first for me.
 Pete pretending it is his birthday and the children began to sing for him
 Tabitha enjoying her ice cream
 others also enjoying
 even Tessa
 what a mouthful, yummmmm
 Rhode to help me with the cake and presents
 first the cake
 Lydia and Joan to help distribute
 a smiling Joan
 now the presents, I love the tongue
 my very own bath set
 a healthy Nelima
 but wait there's more, down at our house the Aunties had set up a surprise party outside
 with another cake and goodies
 a girls 'choir' with a repertoire of birthday songs
 A Marjorine with a special pineapple and ginger drink
 not a flattering photo really but the camera doesn't lie
 support crew of A Christine, A Daisy and A Carol

Band uniforms

 our brass band have wonderful new uniforms, this was the first time they tried them on
 coming up the drive with many children following along
 Uncle Zadok with the big bass drum uncle Daniel in the middle with the trumpet. He is the band instructor and has done a marvellous job

PE workshop with teachers

 Ready for some practical games
 Aaah gotcha, you're tagged
 smiles all round
 some classroom work too
 now skipping, the one in the red top is quite good
 two with one rope
 and the big rope
 made it
 hoola hoops
 Tr Loyce in the corner was a master. A great time was had by all and they now have some variety in what they can do in PE

Swimming

 an outing to the pool at African Village
 all on to Uncle Zadock
 3 beauties watching on, Susannah, Lydia, and Lois
 blessing the food before lunch
 these four, Sarah,Lydia, Priscilla and Betty, played with each other all afternoon, it was delightful to watch
 On another day we took Rhode for her first paddle in the water
 she rather liked the swing
 not too sure of the slide though
 but did get a taste of the water (in more than one way). We must do it again sometime soon

Uncle Sam our general manager

 Awaiting his arrival
 here he comes
 welcome back
 our much beloved General Manager home after a horrific ordeal having been arrested and jailed on the basis of lies. Many of the children spent the day in court with Pete in support of him. The Ugandan 'justice' system appears to be seriously questionable
 surrounded by the children
 Giving thanks through prayer for his safe return
