A day of beginnings! Today Akanyijuka started back at school; it is second term of the year:

 

A new day for Promise.  Last year she was living in Kabale and completed her last year of Primary school, but this year she started Secondary school in her home village and things were very undesirable; as far as quality education goes.  When it was heard about by someone from Australia, they said they would pay for her to go to boarding school here in Kabale for the rest of the year.  Here she is, arriving at the boarding school: 

A new day for Akanyijuka mums, as it was the arrival of Sylivia, our new matron.  We will go down and sort out paper work and things tomorrow.  I spent the afternoon chasing up furniture and mattresses etc. for her so she didn’t have to sleep on the floor.  The bed was to be delivered this morning, but of course they had to delay, as is the proper thing to do here in Kabale, until I happened to catch the owner in town and chased him up.
