Blistering Hot!!! It has been near 100 here this week and we are FEELING IT! The rains finally stopped and the heat is here. It will probably be hot like this for another month before the next rainy season begins.
- School started today for all the New Hope Uganda children and it was a delight to see them smiling and laughing as they passed by our house on the path to school.
Geoff began another year of courses at the Vocational Institute today and it was BUSY. In addition to receiving new and returning students, the Maize mill was a swarm of activity with customers overflowing into the compound area. The mill has been pumping out maize flour almost around the clock for the past few days after last week being down with broken machinery and then a lack of government power for the electrical machines. All was back up and running just before the weekend and with the demand for the flour for the first day of school the mill employees worked almost all weekend.
On Sunday our children who are in the last year of secondary school left to begin their term, and next week we'll take to school those who are beginning the next level of school beyond what we offer. Some of the University students have already begun their terms and others will be going in the coming months. (Universities here are not on a coordinated schedule.) It was very quiet around the house today with the kids off to school again. It is exciting to see the New Hope children moving forward in their education.
A boy and his dog. Toby was reading out on the porch, sitting on the cistern cover. Bubbly just had to check out what he was doin.
