Not sure why I always seem to have problems uploading pictures in Mukono, but I do.
Just a quick update...sorry no pictures this time.
Term 1 of school has started. I am volunteering at a primary school created to serve orphans in the area. I teach P3 and P4...mainly P3 because they behave the best. The subject I prefer is math. I do English every once in a while, but really it is not my strength, never really was...seems to be language period, but that's besides the point.
So my job with my organization is to work with schools organizing and teaching their Sanitation clubs/committees. One school has grown over the last two years to be 60 members. I just went to another school and we had elections for the first time and I counted about 75 members-probably more, because they have to sit so close together and some get lost. How many ands did I just write...anyway.
Any I guess since I don't have enough to do, I told the main women's group I work with that I would begin teaching then English. I am kind of excited about it because the way I am going to teach them is through the lessons of other activities...such as cake baking.
I attended a conference about integrating WASH into Home based care and I think the counseling cards they provided with be a great addition to what I can teach while teaching English. We'll see how it goes.
I was having meeting every day somewhere, including 2 days of teaching...
After four days I found out I was not going to be able to keep it up, so I reduced my school teaching (P3 &P4) to Wednesday mornings and took back my Mondays to concentrate on other things I need to do... i.e. some type of research. Wow, so much to do, so little actual time to do it.
Enough blabbing from me for now. Have a good weekend.
Until Next Time...
