Day 5- Good Evening from Kayunga!!!! Wow what a day! I would have done this earlier but we were at breakfast at 7:30am, and havent stopped since. We arrived at Tender Mercies around 9. Not all of us had the same task. Some had meetings, some organized and set up stations, and some of us played a soccer, football, volleyball combo with the kids in the court yard, where LITERALLY 4 balls were flying from all different directions like gym class for ADD people.
Exciting news…TODAY WAS SHOPPING DAY!!!! Yay! Those 27 totes were filled to the brim from all our GENEROUS donors. We had new play shoes, new school shoes, and they each got to pick out some shirts, shorts/pants, socks, undies, jammies, a towel, and a hygiene kit. I was taking pictures of the kids before they entered so we could track their growth and share with donors.
Thank you so much for all who donated! They were of incredible quality and even trendy!!! These kids were ecstatic and super thankful. Without you WE wouldn’t be this successful!
This afternoon we arrived back at the hotel at 4:30. We were greeted by the chef and asked what we wanted for dinner. We ordered bbq chicken, chips (fries), veggies, and samosas (triangular meat and veggie stuffed pastries). Chef asked what time we’d like it, and Tom replied “7? Does that work?” Chef replied 7:30, and we agreed.
PS- There is a storm going on right now where the power is turning off and on, and off and on, again and again. At least 9 times now in the last 10-20 minutes, and one or two times before. Once again reminding us to appreciate the things we have, like reliable electricity.
