Well, it's finally the end of first quarter-what an accomplishment!! This means that we are 1/4 of the way through the school year and time is just flying by! I submitted all of my grades tonight and only one person received an F-due to missing work.
Tomorrow is the last day of classes until we go camping. Right now we are actually setting up our plans for this weekend's camping trip. We will be going to Lake Boringo where we can see some hippos and eagles, go on a boat ride and eat some delicious food!! I can' wait. I'll be posting some pictures once we return.
Two Sabbath's ago we went to Kibera Slums and got to play with a bunch of really cute children. I was holding a baby and she fell asleep on me..so cute!!
We also went to The Village Market where you can go bowling, see a movie and enjoy some water slides. (We didn't watch a movie..nothing good out)
Last weekend we also had an event called "Peanut Carnival" Basically this is what BMA called "Fall Festival" Since I'm a Sophomore sponsor, I helped out our class by making rainbow cupcakes. All the students seemed to enjoy helping make these and eating them too! It was pretty cool to bring this recipe here to Africa!! Also, I brought a new "game" to this event. Because I remembered how popular the hitching booth was at BMA I figured it would be equally as popular here. Jill, Hadassah and I ended up having more fun then the students I think hitching all the elementary students together. Some of them started catching on and I found myself hitched a couple of times as well!! Enjoy some new pictures! :)
Oh I really love all the new photos and the news about upcoming and past events! I wish i was going on your African campout....even though i just got done with my USA one...ehhehehe. You are so creative to take recipes and games over there and share our culture with them.....and boy i love that new dress you had made, and you carrying basket on your head.....you look like a natural for sure!!!!xoxoxox Be safe and love you lots!!!!
ReplyDeleteSure enjoyed reading your comments & seeing your pictures. Seems like you're really having a grand time. The kids love you, I can tell. The camping trip sounds like fun! Enjoy, my dear, but be careful. You will be remembered long after you leave, every time that carnival comes around.....with the hitching booth! Adorable little kids! :) Miss you lots. Love you more.
