"macarena!"

today was different from the other days so far, as nana and i went with josh and grandad to the seminary school this morning. my job as photographer today was to capture the poor-ness of the facilities here with covenant primary school and the seminary. and they definately are not adequate; grandad's job as a board member back home is to help them get newer, better-suited facilities for over here in uganda. so my pictures of the bible college here will be in his report to hopefully get a new building or at least an extention of the current one as soon as possible.
the facility is actually backed up to a morgue, and before they had built a wall to seperate the two properties, the morgue would sometimes just dump bodies in the back and the stench would often times be unbareable. the school houses p.5 thru p.7 are still backed up right next to the morgue but thanks to the high brick wall that has been built between them it makes the situation that much better..
the kids at covenant are a lot less well-behaved and the teachers do not supurvise them any where nearly as much as at LCH. but the some of them still do have manners and know to respect visitors. hahaha - it was great - at one point one of the little boys came up to me wanting to dance so i showed him how to cha-cha. and then i was telling the kids how we have alllll kinds of dances back in america, and the simplest dance that popped into my head to teach them was the macarena:) soooo i taught the kids the macarena - most of the p.1/2 girls caught on really fast. they loved the jump part at the end haha. i only wish we could have gotten some video of it. i was so proud lol
this afternoon nana and i spent workin on crafts for the LCH kiddos tomorrow. i just finished the 45 bracelets for the girls and nana's currently workin on the other 45 for the boys. we decorated all the felt bookmarks to pass out tomorrow too so we should be all set to go. cant wait to see my girls faces when i give them their bracelets tomorrow:)
