Kawete, Uganda Day 3

GToday was an eventful day!  We enjoyed working more with the sponsored students.  We participated in QUIZ DAY where the students participate in a contest with questions about their different subjects and of history!  We also watched the Preschoolers do a music lesson and it was so joyful and fun.  The garden was plowed and hopefully planting of corn, beans and soybeans will begin soon. Dr. Killian worked in the Clinic again.  Malaria was present with 4 cases in children and one parent.  Dr. Killian also did a home visit for a 58 year old man who fractured his hip and is waiting for surgery.  He gave him blood pressure medication and Ibuprofen for pain.  We helped teach one of the mother's of a student how to make the washcloths with knitting.  She will be able to make them and sell in the market.  Tomorrow will be another day with a visit to the local market to purchase goats for the graduates from last year. We will begin painting the school and maybe help plant the garden.

We will try again tomorrow to post more. The internet is slow at best. So sorry!!!!! We are trying so hard to share this wonderful place with you but much of it will have to wait (unless the internet service improves soon!). Thanks for the prayers and support!

So...we are having a little trouble with the internet service here in beautiful Uganda. So sorry we have  not been able to post.

We'll try it again now:

Our first day in Uganda!

We arrive safely in Uganda! After breakfast we will be heading to the village. We are so excited to see everyone again! We had breakfast overlooking the Nile river.  We proceeded to the village and we were once again greeted joyfully by a parade of children singing and waving palm branches. Many of us had tears of joy. We were welcomed with more singing and dancing. We were also part of the celebration of dance as we joined in the dance. We spent the rest of day with the children and wee were blessed in the afternoon with rain!
