School has slowly been getting going… we now have nearly all the pupils. Andy commanded much interest as he demonstrated a Physics lesson and was asked “is it magic?!” by one of the observing students! Language is still a bit of a challenge as our accents continue to confuse some of the students. This is particularly evident with some of the biblical language in our discipleship sessions and during the Saturday fellowship time with the boarders. However, I have formed a good friendship with Rhoida, who is the Religious Prefect in the top year group. She is an excited and mature Christian wanting to understand more…

An added excursion was built into this past week, as we travelled to Mbarara to attend the Ankole Dioceses’ conference on education in Church of Uganda secondary schools. Kosam (the Director of Education for the diocese and district) was giving a paper and we had a chance to meet the Bishop; a great ‘down to earth’ and humble man, who kept us entertained with his speech on time management (which was not upheld during the day!).
