New teachers – where are you?  It is not always an easy job finding a good teacher in Kabale, as all the good jobs and money is elsewhere in the country.  Kabale is a big town, but it almost has a village mentality,  this is probably due to there being no big business in the area.  People have to go elsewhere to get a good education and then stay elsewhere as there is nothing for their good education, to be used for in Kabale.  As a result it does not help with finding staff. 

Today however, Kathryn, Rogers and Pastor Edward sat for interviews with what was going to be four but ended up being three prospective teachers.  The fourth is automatically excluded due to not showing for the interview.  I think we have decided on taking a lady called Tumwikirize Judith, things will be sorted out on Monday, after which I will post a picture for you.   After a long day Kathryn did not feel up to tackling my cooking so we went out for dinner to relax.

I on the other hand do not seem to have too much to account for from today’s efforts, but I seemed to be going non-stop anyway.  I did however manage to order new furniture in preparation for a new matron that will be starting soon.  Edward had found a prospective matron at a conference held by one of the Pastors from VCCS and she was interviewed by Pamellah.  It appears that she was good and after meeting her ourselves she was invited to start on Monday week. 

Today’s photo is one of the town as you come into Kabale:

I have also added two new profiles to my photo site, Blessing and Christine; so check them out!
