THURSSDAY MARCH 3rd 2016
Such a !ot is going on and I only have Two weeks left effectively. The temp yesterday was 35.2 and it was another holiday due to mayoral elections. s no school again yesterday!.However, Millie has given me permission to teach Sewing group A today at 2pm so that I can attend The Mothers Union at 4pm when I will hand over the sewing machine - electric - which Mama Joyce the Bishop's wife hadhad said would greatly help her Vulnerable girls group. This morning I dashed off to Alfred's village to try to understand why he is not succeeding academically. It may be that he is not academic but I am trying to find out what he really wants and why his teacher says he is not attentive in class. He has repeated P,6 class and still has sipuch poor results that Ksbalega Primary will not allow him to proceed to P7 class and do his Primary Leaving Exam.I have bee helping A lfredvwith shoes and books and pens ever since he came down from Packwach to join his brother, a room attendant at Sallie's Hotel.
We had an exciting night last night. There was a group of us eating supper in the cool of the garden when we heard shots which someone said was teargas. Apparently the results of the mayoral election were read out over the radio and said that the NRM Museveni's party candidate had won. Masindi is very lro FDC and so there protests : hence the tear gas I have never before felt such a feeling for change- Museveni's hasnow ruled for 30 years after changing the constitution. Sallie went home by the back roads, having told Manager Robert to send the staff home early.I watched the news headlines then rushed into the shower just as the generator went off ( we have not had power for days) but I had taken my torch with me so I was able to drymyself and get under my mosquito net by 9:45pm
