Week 6 at School

This week it is business as usual.  We got back from Zanzibar with upset stomachs, but that cured within a day or 2.

On Saturday, St Jude's began their student selection.  I (Peter) didn't get to see much as I had to go to town to get veges, but on the way out of the school there were all these little children and their parents waiting to get in the gate.  When I got out to Smith Campus (the secondary school), there were more kids and parents.  This time the parents were coming to the school to get their child's results.

Saturday afternoon I was going to go to basketball.  About 1 hour before the game was due to begin, down came the rain - the courts are outdoor.  I sent a message to the organiser, but got no reply.  I turned up at the courts about 10mins before the game was due to begin and it was still sprinkling, but nobody else was there so I came home again.  I didn't get a response to my SMS until well after 10pm.

Saturday evening we went to a fund raiser for an orphanage and got home around 11pm.  Denise has now got an upset stomach, so I hope I'm OK because I ate and drank what she did, just from a different plate.

One thing I do like here is when you are eating something with bones, and you have finished with the bone you put it on the table.  The eating is usually done with the fingers, so it is wise to wash hands before and after.

To all those who did the ANZAC Day Kokoda trip, I would love to hear how it went.

Surprise, the internet has been down again, so posting this has been delayed.

Sunday afternoon we heard that there was a bomb blast in a catholic church in Arusha.  Details are still filtering through, but it looks like there was at least one death and many injured.  I was supposed to go out Sunday afternoon, but erred on the side of caution and instead stayed at the school.

Until next week.
