Hi all.
We have good news today, the strike has been delayed for one month while discussions take place, so we will be back in school on Monday!
We have really missed being in school and seeing the children working hard.
We have been marking the children's work and it's really interesting to read about the types of tasks the do during their day. They start the day at 7.30am when they sweep the compound and the classrooms and slash the grass. Who needs a caretaker hey?!
Today we have had a relaxing day. When we got up, we went out for a walk and visited a place called Gately on the Nile where we had breakfast. We spent hours watching the beautiful wildlife in the gardens. We've seen dragonflies, finches, pelicans, Uganda cranes (a little like a vulture), beautiful flowers, cats and dogs. We then took a walk into Jinja town and enjoyed a cuppa in Flavours cafe.
When we returned back to the hotel, we enjoyed watching a baptism and wedding. They were both very grand and some of the outfits were very interesting!
We are waiting for Cathy and Claire to return from their whitewater rafting experience, hopefully in one piece. I'm sure they have had a wonderful time. We are then off for a meal in a local restaurant!
Tomorrow we are going to church and for a sunset cruise along the Nile.
See you all soon
Love Claire and her Uganda friends.xxxxx
