Yesterday while everybody else was at prison, I thought I would be more useful spending time with the kids at Ron and Anne's new school "Jinja Christian School." In the morning I was in primary one, the equivalent of our prep. At the time they were doing maths and English so I had a great time counting by fives with bottle tops, acting out sentences at the front, and helping the kids do some spelling in their book. I was able to really help some kids with their counting and spelling.
After lunch is when the kids do more social activities such as sport, singing and games. I was in the P1 room and one by one the kids came in to do some individual testing and assessing. I had a set of twenty-six cards, each with a letter on the them, which I would show them, and if they were able to identify the letter they would receive a tick, if not, a cross. It was really interesting to see where the kids were at, and lots of them have a big potential. It was great to be there.
Today after lunch Helen, Ivan and I were able to distribute some new clothes to all the kids in the village. Most of them have not got a good pair of undies, so were able to give them a new pair of underwear each. We also had lots of new clothes to give to the new kids in the village. Hetty Van Leeuwen, a previous Hope Builders goer, was kind enough to make a lovely apron for each of the mothers. It is great to see all the new kids with their good clothes, and everyone kid in the village was extremely thankful for their pair of undies. A special thanks to Jasmine Staunton for providing the undies.
