Handprints - Tuesday March 11

Today  we spent the morning making hand prints of all  nursery students: Baby Class, Middle Class and Top Class, about 95 students. The children were  intrigued with the process and the print that their hands made.  Small hands, large hands, long fingers, short fingers, slender fingers, fat chubby fingers: I was reminded how unique each of these little people are, such precious individuals  as I watched child make their print. 

Karen also read “Chicka, Chicka,  Boom,  Boom”  to each class and they all loudly chimed in.  This is story about the alphabet that crosses cultural  boundaries.  Karen knows it by heart!

Karen  was able to meet with the parents of some of her sponsored children and give them gifts and hear their stories. A  wonderful perk of sponsors who come to visit! Many, many times  these people tell us, “there is no way I can  ever repay you, but we will ask God to bless you.” 

It is another hot, hot day here in Uganda. It has been in the 90’s all week and  the Ugandans tell us , “even for us, it’s hot”.
