This morning started with a trip to the market in Kawete (the village where CCLSU is located). The market has people selling second hand clothing as well as other clothing from all over the world. There are people selling spices, food, meat, torches (flashlights), radios, ice cream, knives, cows, goats, and anything you need to support your family in East Uganda! It was very amazing to see everything and even try a few things.
After we left the market we headed down the street to CCLSU. Being a Saturday, there were no classes, but because we were visiting, there were activities and students and teachers around all weekend. I got to help fix a new wagon that wasn’t assembled correctly a couple of years ago. It now works properly which will be helpful for hauling water from the well to homes.
We also hung out with students, recorded more student interviews, took a tour of the garden, and ate some beans harvested today from the garden (the first crop to be harvested).
Cathie and Kent worked their hearts out in the clinic as they saw over 120 people this week including about 40 women for a women’s health and wellness seminar! That is incredible and they really have gone nonstop the last three days!
We ended our day handing out gifts to those students who participated in music, drama, choir, and athletics. They lined up and waited patiently for gifts of markers, pencils, shoes, and a half a bag of Reese’s Pieces. They were very grateful and it was fun to be a part of that ceremony!
The CCLSU teachers in their new shirts! Thanks CCLS and Adam Wedel!
