So much for shoes and clean feet!!

Today we went to Bukeeka, to Fountain of Hope again. The team from Washington had bags to give to each student that had a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, bandages, and soap (some for clothes and bar soap for washing). We prepared and handed out over 500 bags today to all the kids in P1 through P6. They were SO excited!!

But before we were able to hand any out it rained. Hard. Like torrential downpour. I felt like I was back home! It was so loud on the roof that we literally had to yell at each other to be heard. To say the least, class stopped temporarily.


Since it rained so much, we all decided to ditch the shoes and go barefoot like most of the kids. Our feet were definitely nasty after a day of walking in the mud.

  2. when you told me each child had a walmart bag with gifts in it, I was thinking plastic bags not the cloth ones, impressive! So did the mud stains come out? Did Paul and Pam go with you and did they wade in the mud with the rest of young folks? I'm bettin not!
