The majority of the team went back to the worksite to dedicate the classrooms
*note of clarification
- we raised funds and came here to build 2 classrooms. As I had mentioned earlier, plans changed on-the-fly and we ended up tearing down a partial wall we had already built, thus forming one large multi-purpose room instead of 2 adjacent classrooms. This new multipurpose room will be used for plays, assembly-type gatherings and also for classes. So rest assured, the funds raised are still going to a wonderful cause.
Back to the day.
After the dedication (which a handful of us missed out on – more about that later), the team was able to visit the Watoto children between classes – they were absolutely slammed with kids from all directions.
They then got to check out some markets and then we all gathered for an appreciation supper at Fang Fangs Chinese Restaurant (a wonderful meal at a lovely restaurant in downtown Kampala)
While the rest of the team was at the dedication, etc - Christine Lwanga, Laureen Rich, Marilyn Driedger and myself went to a Small Group Leadership training day (where the key-note speaker was none other than yours truly – funny, I know) that Jabez Ministries had put together. One personal highlight of the day – I ate a full fish head (eyeballs, gills and all)
Tomorrow, we are off to Jinja for the day – where the Nile River begins.
I hope these pictures will help you ‘feel’ a little more of life for us here.
I'll try to upload a few more later
