Yesterday we had another fun day at the Beersheba project, with lots of people swapping round groups!
We had the pleasure of Will in Pre-school, he was amazing! Lucy swapped to help the playground guys with painting the tyres- a female touch was needed for the neatness!
Rosie attempted manual labour, using a very large and sharp hoe (like a pick axe), and a panga (machete)! It was a bit to close to Ben and Sam's head, which provided much worry/entertainment!
In the afternoon Phil and Charlie led an amazing netball session, while Rosie, Emily and Jemima painted more tyres!
We had a great day, followed by a evening meal out with Pastor Nelson, in celebration of Wills birthday!
Pastor Nelson then led our evening devotions, rosie washed several girls hair in a bowl and everyone slept princesses in their palaces (mosquito nets!)
Today we did another day at the project,
Martin trusted me to paint a large black space on his mural!
There is great progress with the mural and it is very near completion!
The boys have done amazingly with the playground and only a few more tyres to paint.
The catch up teachers Hannah, Tom, Andy and Rosie have done an amazing job! We had all the girls approach us during break practising their English questions.
All the pre-school kids are loving all the toys that we have given to them, thanks so much to everyone who has donated in that way!
All the boys (minus tom) and Rosie stayed for an exciting evening of football with the boys, with Phil and Rosie's team reigning victorious! With Fred as man of the match! They were so pleased with the cup and the new football kit! Everyone else planned for our last day at the Beersheba project tomorrow :(
It is still so unreal that we are all actually in Uganda, but we are LOVING it!
Please Mum when I get home:
Jemima: bacon.
Rosie: put the kettle on.
Emily: LASAGNE!
Sam: mixed grill
Charlie: Frankie's and Bennies!
Sienna: stir fry
Gemma: bring Gill when you pick me up!
Will: spaghetti bolognese
Megan: cheesy pasta and grandmas apple crumble.
Phil: quiche and chocolate puddings.

Please pray:
- health of the team, we have only had one case of the dreaded thunder so far!
-energy, we are all so tired!
-that we will have a lasting impact on all the kids we have had time with this week!
-we are having a prayer walk around the community tomorrow morning, pray for all the Ugandans in the Musoto community!
-for quick healing and no pain for Lucy's suspected broken toe.
We are over half way now :(
Well done on GCSE results Hannah! amazing, Give God the glory!
