SECOND POST ON APRIL23rd

Went to Kinogozi Primary School this morning (total enrolment 186 pupils) to deliver 4 of those cheap charts (sh.2.00) the boys sell in the street. This school is very poor and when I went to visit George Byarugaba and Florence who had been transferred there at the beginning of term, one of the teachers begged for an Atlas etc. So I took her a map of Uganda and a world map. I also gave the P1 teacher an ABC chart and the P6 AND 7  teachers a chart of the human body
I ended up  taking photographs of them all! Many children have not returned after the Easter weekend and the teachers are all busy marking and writing Reports. Needless to say Ggeorge Byarugaba was nowhere to be seen.
After lunch, Mustapha took me to Kabalega Primary where again everyone was writing Reports and the children went home early. Term officially ends on Friday. I attempted to do an  Inventory of all the goodies I have used your money for over the last few years.
I found:
Out of 7 clocks 2 in working order
Magnets in place.
31 out of 50   P7 ENGLISH TEXTS        2 years old and very worn and torn
30                   P7 MATHS                        new
30                   P6 ENGLISH                     new
00                   P6 MATHS (none bought)
00                   P5 ENGLISH (none bought)
50                   P5 MATHS                       not bad - one year old
50                    Atlases                             not bad condition
couldn't check on the DVD player although said to be with Teacher Felly
                                   3 boxes of Magic Key Readers also with Felly
I saw the box of Phonics materials last week.

I hope to go to Kampala tomorrow for a couple of days  -Evah was phoning from U.K.  and Doctor Margaret phoned to  say I m welcome to stay at her place in Kololo ( posh part of Kampala!)
Evidentally Princess Bagaya is hoping to see me.......................

Will now relax with my latest Lindsey Davies detective story on my Kindle.
