We waited patiently for our buses to pick us up and take us to our schools for another hard day of training. I can say that fitting 20 kids back into the miniature bus was yet another, but hilarious challenge which will never fail to amuse me. Today we picked our tournament teams which was rather hard and difficult as they were all so talented.
We arrived back to KOA and we were allowed to have half an hour to ourselves. Thompson and Michelle decided to use the time wisely and take a nap. This meant that the rest of the group was waiting for them and they woke up rather disturbed by Robert banging on the door - " we're leaving!"
When they finally woke up, we took a short walk to the school where we completed community work on and managed to get all the paint work done whilst some of the group played with the children of the school, creating a special bond you will not find any where else. #Love
As a little group bonding, we decided to play a game of volleyball. However, we were allowed 20 minutes time to ourselves before the game and again, Michelle and Thompson showed up an hour later this time due to another important nap. The rest of the team shared a giggle over the photos from today and water rafting - plently of embarrassing photos. Loizou went on a hunt to find a volleyball, but never completed his mission. No volleyball today. We all decided to relax and chill out at the new house of Loizou, McWhinnie and Morrison.
We returned 'home' to our little families and enjoyed some quality time with our brothers and sisters. We love them even when they are trying to start a war with us ( flickering of lights and lots of tickling).
We shared lots of hugs with our Ugandan mother, Agnes, who adores her white children. We have a cute little baby in our house, who is scared of our rare skin but we still try our best to give her cuddles, even when she is batteling to get away.
We are looking forward to the tournament on Friday as we were all so amazed by last Friday's performance from the children in Jinja. After the tournament, we will be looking forward to a luxurious pizza and a well deserved dip in the pool. We cannot wait to see what moves Robert pulls off on the diving board.
We're having a great time in Uganda! However, we miss our families dearly.
- Michelle and Thompson
