Beth's Adventures in Mbarara Uganda

SCHOOL UPDATE:

I can hardly believe that we’re at the end of week three! We’re so glad that Kiho and Kaho are home safely in Mbarara and back at school with us. Of course, adding more people to the classroom also means adding more adjustments that need to be made. School is definitely a work in progress, but I think it is going well.

On Tuesday, September 26, we will have an open house time when you can come to the school room with your child and see how things are set up and learn a little about what we do all day. Please feel free to come any time from 5:00 – 5:45 pm. Your kids can show you around the school room and if it’s nice weather, they can play outside for a little bit. At 5:45, I will be speaking briefly to all parents and just sharing an overview of a few things. We will finish in enough time for you to head home for dinner by 6:15pm.

Also, next week we will have local lunch on Wednesday. We will be eating potatoes and peas and chapattis. Please have your child order his/her lunch on Tuesday and bring 1000/= to pay for it. We will be eating at the Fouts’ home and as always, parents and siblings are welcome to join us.

Weekly reminders:
