Pictures (CV)

Hi Everyone! 

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks. 

1.  1.     Kayaking on the Nile.  It was super hot and the fantas that our guide packed for us to enjoy as we floated back downstream were heavenly. 

2  2.  It wouldn’t be a true representation of this trip if we didn’t throw in a little bit of ridiculous.  This is in Jinja walking up to the main road to catch transit to Kampala.  The point of the picture was to capture the banana trees in the background, but things got a little out of hand. 

3 3.     This is helping out at a feeding program in Kampala (kidsinspiringkids.org).  Our job was just to help the smaller kids scramble back up the steep hill without spilling their porridge.  It proved to be a rather challenging task due to the unfortunate combination of a steep slope and sweaty sandals.  

4. 4.   These are three of the girls we stayed with in Kampala.  From the back:  Esther, Prossy and Erin.  They are showing us how to eat a Jack fruit.  

5. 5.  Back in Kitale… This is what the high school looked like as of last Thursday.  It’s so exciting to see it actually looking like a school now!  The rafters have been finished since this was taken, and today they are going to put the iron sheets on for the roof.  

6  6.    There was a games day/track meet up the road at Kiungani Primary so we went along to cheer for Mercy Home.  Apparently Anna and I were the most exciting event there and everywhere we went a crowd of about 20-30 kids would follow us.  Most of them were too shocked to say anything and just stared at us, so after greeting them we tried to keep on the move as much as possible.  

7.7.     This is the dining hall in the girls’ dorm.  We were attempting to get the Standard 6-8 students to write sponsor letters, but it was a bit of a failure because we didn’t structure it quite enough.  We managed to get a few, but for the most part it was just the younger kids coming to draw pictures.  Kaitlyn Griffiths, if you’re reading this, the boy in the green shorts is Michael Wanami!

In case we don’t manage to get a blog up before we go, we’re planning to take the Easy Coach bus from Kitale to Nairobi on Sunday the 24^th.
