Yesterday was a big day. We celebrated Canada day with our very own Canadian volunteer who arrived. And I painted the craft room (which has been my recent undertaking). Well actually, I didn't get to paint the art room that much. Our maintenance man, Santongo, refused to let me do very much of it and told me that I was too slow. But during the part I did a giant salamander jumped off a window ledge and landed on the paint roller. Welcome to Africa. Today I got to organize all the art supplies into shelves. Morris, our Ugandan director, is ordering tables for the room. I am extremely excited to start teaching art in the new room. Self expression is important for children to work through grief and pain. I hope and pray it is uplifting for the kids. If you have any craft ideas I would love to hear them! And I will post pictures of the room soon!
Other than that nothing else has really been going on! I am eating a lot of pineapple and mango, which I really love. I honestly couldn’t be happier.
Thanks for your support!
