Primary School

Today was awesome! We got the opportunity to spend time at a local primary school. First we attended an assembly for the introduction which really touched my heart. The children sung their local anthem to us and also said their hellos. The head mistress also told us a little bit about Mabarara Mixed Primary School and told us about the age ranges of the children which were from 3-18 years of age!
While at the school we were able to interact and communicate with the children. We got to learn a little about them and then they learned a little about us. What’s even better is that we were able to give back and do a little community service by painting a couple of buildings on the campus inside and out.
We took tons of pictures and I cannot wait to publish them! I met a group of about 8 young men who aspired to be doctors, engineers, teachers or businessmen in America. They were a young courageous bunch and definitely added to my experience here in Uganda.
I asked about health care services (of course) that were offered on the campus-there was a first aid kit that was administered by a designated administrative worker. Gee Wiz! However, a certified nurse comes to the campus twice a week to care for the children, so at least there is some kind of medical care.
We are headed back up to Kampala tomorrow- good times down here in Mbarra and Kabale 
Talk to you soon, internet will be back to being slow and hard to use this week since we will be back in Kampala!
