I just said goodbye to two of my sisters and another good friend a few days ago. They were here visiting for about 10 days and we packed in a lot of African adventures while they were here. A real highlight of the trip was the day we spent out in the village visiting the homes of some of the children that attend Kibaale Community School. My sister got to meet the boy she sponsors and present him with a goat that my nephew had raised money to buy for the family.
Several other generous people from Canada had donated money to buy goats for more of these needy families, so we were privileged to be able to deliver the goats directly to the recipients. Everywhere you go in Uganda, you see children and we had a lot of fun interacting with all the little ones living in the homes we visited. It was hard to tell who actually lived in each of the homes, because as soon as we arrived kids from the neighbouring area would come over to meet the visitors.
The kids love having their photos taken and then looking at themselves in the camera. As most are too poor to have mirrors in their homes, they don't see themselves very often, so it's a real novelty.
It was a day full of kids--both the human and the goat variety!
