The sweetness of Peace Corps Office

Of course there will be more to come, but due to time I must stop here. Enjoy! Just for my sissy...here's some furry friends near my home.
Just so you know for those of you in Uganda, Orange is coming to a hill near you. Nkokonjeru is currently constructing a new mast and I got to help shovel a few bits of dirt. Definitely couldn't do this in the States.
They were quite impressed I could get the dirt out of the hole.
Here is the ditch we filled in with rocks and stones for the truck to deliver tank materials with more ease.
The truck bed full of children manuever works every time.
My first Speech day, as guest of honour, began with a parade the students led by a marching band. Brings back memories and they were pretty good too, especially for the size of the group.
I don't remember which grade level by I want to say this is P7 doing their song.
This song and dance was very entertaining. If you can see the boy to the far left is drinking a soda he opened with his teeth and the student with the box was chomping on some tomatoes. I have no idea what was going on, but I want to venture a guess that it has something to do with nutrition and eating properly. I'll have to ask Maama Gertrude.
The landing site with people getting prepared for fishing.
One of the monkeys on the hill just near the landing site. They welcome free food and will come up and take it from you too. Pretty cool. If you visit, I 'll definitely show you the monkeys.
