Tooro High School

It is Tuesday, June 22nd, and we have spent the last three days at Tooro High School in Fort Portal, Uganda. What a blast! We had only one project set for this site which was to assist in building a chicken coup. This project turned in to two because we were not able to assist as much as we would have liked to with the coup. We were able to bring around the boards and dig holes, and cut down some trees, but due to a lack of tools, we decided that we would not only paint the teachers workroom and office, but we designed and painted a mural.Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries before it was completed, but many others took pictures. Yesterday after we got done working, we played the boys in soccer. No we didn't win, but we only lost 2-1. We had a great time and I even stopped a goal with my head. It was really hard to leave today because after working, the kids wanted to take pictures with us. They all just came up to us, grabbed our hands and pulled us over. The kids were just hugging us and putting their arms around us. It was amazing. I felt so bad leaving. At least Andy, Adam, Melissa, and Holly will be back in a couple weeks.

Tomorrow we will be going to a medical clinic which we bought medicine for yesterday in town and which we brought glasses with us. It has been an amazing and exhausting experience. I think everyone should come here at least once. We are still struggling to put our photos on here so I'll have plenty to show everyone when we get home. Talk to you soon.
