Little Things

While up until now there hasn't been a lot to do here in Kibaale (what with the children being out of school etc), Megan and I were happy to hear today that from now there will be many more opportunities to help out and work around the campus, especially with the Nursery and Kindergarten classes.

We sat in on a teaching workshop for the Nursery and Kindergarten teachers this afternoon, where we were introduced to everyone and were able to see some of the things they're working on at the moment. We're hoping to be able to get to know them all a lot better in the next few weeks and months.

Tomorrow we'll be helping out in one of the Kindergarten classrooms, and while its hard for us to do a lot of practical things with the children- with our limited, ie. non-existant knowledge of Luganda- it will be good just to get experience with the children (and helping the teachers with various activities and projects that need to be done), and hopefully even learn more of the language while we're doing so.

Also exciting news is that Natalie Latham, from Canada, has arrived, and will be staying here until mid-December, working mainly in the special unit classrooms. It's nice to have a new face around! A friend of mine is also hoping to come, and is just waiting for her funds to come in, in order to book her plane tickets. She would also be here until mid-Deceber, and I'm so looking forward to seeing her again and having her here!

So, finally, things are happening here in Kibaale!

We're hoping to travel up to Kampala again this weekend (Ayana needs to go back to the hospital for a follow up visit in order to properly assess whether her nose was broken in the crash) so I will try to get some new pictures up here for everyone :)
