This morning we had our favourite for breakfast: dough balls
and syrup. Afterwards we headed off to school. Seeing as Pav’s school was
basically closed, he decided to join us at Kinderkatten. We marked P3 exam
papers until 10:15 and then all walked into our small local town, where we
bought a Coca-Cola and some bits and bobs.
We then stayed at the school doing bits and pieces and
playing with the kids outside. The kids were ecstatic to meet Pav and were
continuously touching his mass of curly hair until our lunch of the usual:
Posho, Mitoki and Beans. By this point all the teachers were in love with ‘mad’
Pav, and he began teaching them all how to write their names in Russian and
Hebrew. As there wasn’t anything for us to do in the school after lunch, we
headed into town and after following a man down some alley and through people’s
‘gardens’ we found a stall selling pork. I and Pav went and bought 1Kg of Pork
for 9000 Ugandan shillings (about £2.40), to be cooked and brought to Kindergatten
School.
At school we began playing cards with the teachers, a
Ugandan card game which is basically Uno, until the pork arrived. The Pork was
mainly fat and bone, but the tomato sauce was really nice. The teachers were
delighted, and the pot of pork was devoured pretty quickly. Once the pork was
finished we continued playing cards with the teachers for an hour or so until
the Volunteer Uganda van arrived and took us back to the lodge.
Once at the lodge we had dinner and then played ‘Killer
Pool’ (which is basically where a group of us take one go each at potting a
ball, if we miss we lose a life). Out of the 15 of us playing, I came 3rd,
which is good considering I’m shit.
