Quick Update

It is crazy that I have been here for a MONTH already! It has gone by so fast! I thought I would give a brief (very brief) update of what I have been up to.

Since being here I have been working at Lilly Kindergarten and Primary School, a school of about 200 students ranging from ages 3-15. I have gotten to know most of the children and love well... most of them. I mostly teach the 1st and 2nd graders and holy cow is it tough! Tasha if you could give me some pointers on how to control that many small children then pleeeaaaasssee tell me.

They Headmaster of the school also runs an orphanage near the school. There are 22 kids there and they are whom I spend most all my free time with. They are all so much fun and are the greatest collection of kids I have ever met.

Crazy story-- After the first couple of weeks being here I noticed a stroooonnnggg bond between myself and 3 of the boys at the orphanage, Dembe Isaac, Mwesigwa Alex, and Tugume Paddy. Not knowing nearly anything about them I asked the Headmaster for a bit of their history... Come to find out they are BROTHERS? Too NUTS!?! I know. I have since written them each a letter and am trying to decide whether to give it to them or not. But I will put them on here:)
