Day 4 With Katelyn
Saturday, May 25 2013.
After this it was time for snack and we had this snack called Mundazzi. It tasted like fried dough it was soooo amazing! Then there was a huge interruption because we found a chameleon in the tree! After snack time we went back inside and made friendship bracelets with the girls. They loved this activity and we gave them extra string to take home with them. Once the bracelets were finished it was time for lunch. We ate matoke, rice, beans and cabbage. Our next activity was to get back into our small groups and discuss self confidence, appropriate attire and bullying. I feel like the girls were really able to connect when discussing these topics which helped the flow of conversation. Our final topic we did with all the groups. We talked about what S.M.A.R.T. goals were and had every girl make a smart goal for themselves with something motivating them to complete school and pursue whatever they wanted to be in life.
Since it was a girl’s workshop,
only the girls in our group ran it. The
boys, Ricky and Tier, got to sleep in.
They left at 12:30 to bring us snacks, but got lost and ended up walking
45 minutes in the wrong direction. When
it started raining out, a man named James invited them into his house to stay
dry. They spent about 2 hours talking to this man about all sorts of things;
from the pros and cons of industrialization to how unemployment is treated in America.
He told them the right route to the
school and they made it right at the workshop was ending. Boys will be boys!
That's my boy, lost in the villages of Uganda.
