Holy Days

First term is already ending. Hope P.S. just finished their exams this past week and will be getting the results next week. Which means that we will be starting a new schedule for the youth center during their break. This term has flown by with only a few hiccups. Thankfully, we now have a regular schedule for the youth center established for when school is in session. That was the hard part.

It is hard to believe that there is only about a month and a half left for Courtney, Heather, and me in Ndejje. Hopefully, we will be able to have a good number of kids from the community at the center during holiday. We will have the youth center open from 1-5 pm, Monday-Thursday. The children will be welcome to come for reading, art, games and puzzles. We will also hold trainings from 3:30-5 for any of the children that are interested. We might try to divide our time up into shifts so that none of us get burnt out. We have been told not to have Saturday trainings over break because many of the children will be expected to be home for chores at that point.

We are all trying to make the most out of our remaining time here. Courtney has been active helping teach an English class that is being run by one of the SWB coaches in Kampala, and Heather has been putting some final touches on some aid projects she has will some of the local families. I'm trying to help Jacques from Hope P.S. establish some sort of sustainable agriculture program for some of the refugees in Ndejje to take part in to try to generate some income. The days are numbered, and there soon won't be any left.
