Waterfall Day

Today we headed back to Wakiso! In the morning the girls painted a wall dark and light blue giving the school a little bit of pizaz and spunk! Some of the girls also participated in laying down brick for the playground! The boys are still working on the fence that will be separating the school and the other homes. As for me, in the morning I got to wash clothes with a 21 year old woman named Sandra. This was truly an incredible experience where I learned about her life, African culture, and how bad I am at hand washing clothes! Through the laughs and the smiles it was a moment that I will cherish because Sandra and I became friends even with a language barrier and difference in culture. Back to the group...the day at Wakiso ended with relay races, obstacle courses, a makeshift parachute and a craft that made crosses with yarn. After saying goodbye to the kids after day 3, we were off to out next adventure though it was a surprise! Where did we end up? A beautiful waterfall called Ssezibwa that used to be home to witch craft but is now home to tourists and Christians! we journaled, reflected and became inspired by God's wonderful creation! We are now home tired as can be! We miss you families but have fallen in love with this place culture and its magnificent people! So who knows about coming home :) Talk to you tomorrow our readers!
