After a couple of days off work, today was
back to an early start. We enjoyed another morning of rolex’s and chapattis as
the rafting people compared bruises and sunburn marks. Stan lead us with
devotions about how God is in control of our lives, with unique plans for each
one of us and how everything in our lives happen for a reason. It was back to
work on the house, which is looking great and progressed so far! Seeing the
walls built up high has made it more real to imagine that one day it will house
8 children and a Mama, what an awesome privilege it is to be apart of! More walls were built up and windows were
painted, it wont be long now until completion.
Coming back to Suubi house we enjoyed
another lunch prepared by our amazing chefs and even some freshly squeezed
juice. After a bit of a break we headed out to Jinja Christian school down the
road to play with some of the kiddies. Here we met Ron and Anne and were given
a brief tour of the school. It was so great to see, especially for some of the
schoolies girls who had been there and prayed for it over 2 years ago when it
was still an empty, bushy block of land. How much it has grown since then! Then it was play time! The P1, P2 and P3 kids
were handed over to us and we split into 3 different groups. Each group took
turns playing netball, soccer and tunnel ball/over and under ball. What a great
time it was! Tunnel ball soon turned into a “Whats the time Mr Wolf” game,
which was a favorite among the kids.
After a energetic hour playing, the kids gathered
to sing us their school song and performed some of their church songs, what a
treat! We were shown by Anne the classrooms in the school and told a bit more
about education in Uganda. Joining Ron and Anne in the staff room, we shared in
some sodas and home-baked treats (brownies! mmmmm!) and listened to the story
of Jinja Christian School. It was so great to hear the story behind where the
passion and dedication came from and how the school is doing a great job to
help change the education system and give the children all they need. It was very inspirational.
Whilst some of the team members went out
for tea, the rest of us shared in a delicious meal and some very interesting
dinner table conversations.
