Today we went to Akanyijuka and Kathryn did a performance review with one of the matrons, who was doing a great job, so it was easy for her.  While she was doing that I just sat with the other matrons, who don’t speak English, which made for an interesting time.  At least all the matrons are comfortable with us now and act easy with us around and it was good to just sit and watch what a great job they do.  The light was not the best but here is a shot I tried to get of an African Kitchen, a bit different from those back home:

Then when the school bell rang for mid morning break, what a difference.  It was nice and quiet and then all of a sudden there seemed to be hysteria outside with the children running this way and that, so I took the chance to get out and play with them a bit, missing the days in the beginning when we almost played with them all the time when we visited.  I managed time for a couple of quick photos, little Janette:

And Samuel and Gilbert having fun:

Last week Sultan, one of the local Indian shop keepers, gave me some of their home made yoghurt which I took home and had a go of making.  At first it was very tarty, but since then we have been trying a few different things and have now got some nice vanilla yoghurt and some nice thick Greek style yoghurt happening at home.  So this afternoon we took some up to the Wards and they are having a go also.  Pam’s mother is visiting for a few months and Pam has just booked a ticket to go home when her mother goes.  At the moment she is heading home for a one month visit to catch up with family and friends, should be good for her.
