We had a lovely "last dinner for Pat in In Masindi" last night with Sallie ,Janine and Robert. It was great sittin in the gardenith a temp of 28 only after a high of 34.2 with a beer and eating the nile perch bought in the market in the morning. We only found a tail end left as it had taken 45 minutes to get her pounds sterling changed into Uganda shillings.
We had had a hectic afternoon working with another 10 girls practising their skills on a needlecases before attempting the knickers next week. However before we got into P5 classroom there was a mini riot brewing in the P6 room so I went in to see what was happening with not a teacher in sight. There were over 60 puils crammed into a hot room with nothing to do!
Pat and I have been going in to school to teach between 4pm and 5pm and we now have 3 groups of 30 plus 6 girls left over. Undoubtedly more girls will arrive next week but physically I can't manage to teach more than 3 evening a week so I will teach those 6 a!one on Tues and add them to the 3 exso I will be teaching 3 groups of 12.
At 2 PM Pat and I will travel to Kampala and stay with my former pupil Annette.
I hope to buy a electric sewing machine for the Mothers Union smongstvother things like good bread and cheese for the hotel!
Doubt that I' ll get the Internet for a couple of days so until Monday..........
