It always seems that the days you think you do not have much on, are the ones that end up being big days. We went to Akanyijuka to settle in the new teacher and to show her around. Which we did, but on the way we met with Pastor Edward at the drop-in for signing of papers. While we were there, a couple of Americans involved in a seminar that Pastor Frank is organising for later in the week came for a visit. As it turns out one lady is a counsellor who deals with adopted children and their parents and part of that involves association counselling. So Pastor Edward arranged for them to come on Friday to talk with the Matrons about association. Although the matrons we have are doing a great job in this area, I am sure it will benefit in some way.
After this we arranged for Gilbert, our sole external student, to come and live with Akanyijuka. His current living conditions have started to become hard and it was decided that it was in his best interests for him to come and be a part of Akanyijuka. So now we are 32 children. Here is a photo of Gilbert I took this morning:
