Hi ho, hi ho, it`s back to school we go!

 

Tomorrow we are going back to school. Are we ready? Probably not! I`m hoping things might slow down once we get back into the swing of things as the 4 week break has been non-stop.

Trips to Kampala to see paediatricians and neurologists, trips to the rehab centre, shopping, cleaning classrooms, home visits, staff envisioning, catching up on paper work, a visit to the police station to visit an abandoned child with special needs, Luganda lessons........and the very occasional afternoon nap!



I will upload some photos for you to see and ask that you pray for us all as we start the new term.

Visiting Allen`s family at home.

The siblings, Father and Grandmother of our dear baby Dissan.

It was really special to be able to go and check on baby Dissan`s family and see how they were coping since he passed away. Uncle Rogers was able to take Annet and I on his Boda one afternoon and we were pleased to find them all at home on the farm where they keep cattle and goats for a 'Mugaga' (rich man) who stays in Kampala. Dissan`s auntie prepared us HUGE mugs of milk tea and we were given lots of bread to eat. After a photo session with all the family they presented us with omuzigo (something like cheese,) some eggs and a chicken to say thank you for what we had done for Dissan. We were able to take a few gifts for his brothers and sisters including some colouring books and pencils. For me I wanted to thank them for allowing me to have known their precious baby brother who I still miss very much!

And last of all, a picture of dear Thomas Dendy (and his friend Genesis) who makes up for the nieces and nephews I have left behind in England. He has learnt to walk in the last couple of months and now there is NO STOPPING HIM!!!
