School projects

All is well here in Bwera. This morning I went to school with Robina and saw brick making in real time. Joachim (in orange) and Jochanus (below) were pumping them out with vigor!








These guys were caked in mud and quite happy working in it. In fact I really wanted to join in the fun, but instead I got to dig, preparing the gardens with a large hoe, for cabbage and eggplant.

Rodgers and Sharon cleaned plastic and Lazarus, the teacher, did some mat-making. Head master and I tried to get Internet connection with a modem on a hilltop, but to no avail. Will try with some help from an engineer soon, to make a Skype connection before I leave on Sunday.

See this knife?


It is called a panga, and Robert helped me to find one on our shopping date this afternoon. The knife turns out, for $2, to be made in China, but we had it sharpened locally for another 75 cents. Look out, KLM airlines!


Tire-made shoes were made to fit me in the center of town.


I hope you are all well and enjoying your summer!
with love from Jen
