Visitors to Kuluva!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of having David and Catherine all the way from Nyahururu, Kenya! (Just over 1000km away!) They came by road and broke up the journey with a stop in Kampala.














David enjoyed my magazines! :-)
I had a lovely time showing them the surroundings, introducing them to friends, and showing them the hightlights of Arua Town - the material market.





































We visited the dam which supplies my electricity in Kuluva.


We enjoyed the luxuaries of 'The White Castle' Hotel. Swimming and eating there.
















We even went to the boarder of the Democratic Republic of Congo - which is just 20 mins away by car.

Christmas is coming

Yesterday we had Christmas carols for the students before most of them go on holiday. We gathered in the School dining hall for the special occasion.




We all dressed up!




The program only ran behing by one hour at all times! I think that was partly because there were so few speaches. The guest of honour was unable to attend - so I had to speak instead - being the Matron of Focus at the school. My speech was very brief! :-)


Here are some of them singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas!"


We sang some carols together.



Played some games!! Who can get to the sweet first and the fastest!


This was the christmas tree - it had fruit, sweets and biscuits hanging on it. For a small fee we were allowed to harvest something.
So altough we finished in good time, just as the final song was being sung, the heavens opened and rain beat down on the tin roof of the Dinning room. We were then stuck in the Dining room for a further hour and a half waiting for the lightning and thunder that were directly overhead to pass!
