Day 2 - more introductions...

So, our day began with an introduction to the biggest cockroaches that Uganda has to offer. Where did we meet this fine fellow? Inside Kavita's mosquito net of course! (That's right, inside - not outside!)
In stark contrast, the rest of the day was followed by many pleasant surprises :)
After breakfast of eggs and toast at the hotel we made our way down the hill to the In Need Home which houses the NLP. Thanks to the supplies that Judy and Bob have sent over the last 2 years, the In Need Home looked more like a real school than any of us could have ever imagined. Our excitment was building as we met with the teachers for a few hours to discuss curriculum. Before we knew it, the children came running full speed into the cmpound, and right into our arms! Some so quickly they almost knocked us over!!!! As more and more of the children arrived, the In Need Home became filled with the excited voivces of t\chilren shouting "Welcome teachas, howayuu?" We were introduced to Bosco, Annette-Fiona, Monika, Stella and many other children too adorable for words, all so happy to be there.
Seeing their faces so eager to learn, made us feel that all of our hard work in getting here to Uganda, was more than worth it.
We're already realizing just how difficult it is going to be to leave.

More updates on the NLP tomorrow from Judy and Bob.

much love,
Kavita & Ruby
