However, the days need to be spoken about in order. Yesterday we had
a great day white water rafting. Unfortunately, Mark and Coby did not come with
us. Mark (I hope you are reading this) spent his day helping out at Jinja
Christian School, whilst Coby spent some time with some of the girls in re-sizing
and re-purposing rather large shirts.
A few of us were quite scared about the white water rafting,
but it turned out to be a fantastic day. I did learn, rather than saying, ‘Are
you from England?’ to say, ‘Where do you come from?’ Luckily, I fixed that
mistake quickly, although did flack a lot of cop for it. There was a scary
moment, when one of the team took a little while to re-surface, and we were
quite relieved when she did. It was a spectacular day, and was great to see a
beautiful part of God’s creation.
Although scary, it certainly was a lot of fun. You can never
get enough sunscreen on when in the water, so a few of us did have a very pink
tinge by the end of the day. I personally, am so thankful to God for keeping us
safe, and giving us a great day.
Whilst we were having a ball, the container FINALLY arrived
on site at the Village. What a relief and such excitement all at the same time.
Today was our second last day buildering. There is so much
more to do, and I’m sure many of us would love to stay to see the houses
completed. Marty worked hard all day and got some of the fascia up on House 7,
the kitchen framing was worked on, Brad continued on some maintenance at Subbi
House and the container started to be unpacked. The girls spent time finishing
off brick-laying in the kitchen and painting fascia as well. The container
unpacking brought much delight and enjoyment, all at the same time, to everyone involved.
I had a great afternoon talking with Anne about curriculum,
reports, discipline, uniforms, planning and all other things school related.
Our time in Uganda is quickly coming to an end. I know we have all had a
fantastic time and a part of each of us, will be left behind. We are looking
forward to our last day building, and spending time with the kids before we
leave.
Prayer for the following will be appreciated:
·
Our last day building – that it is productive
·
Safe travels to Kenya
·
The process and emotions involved with saying good-bye

The white water rafting photos look amazing - so glad you are all safe albeit a bit pink. Praise God for the release of the container finally!We trust that the last day and your safari will be a great experience and that the sign at the entrance of VoH will be true for each of you - "May all who enter be BLESSED and may all who leave be a BLESSING"
