Hi Mrs. Kapps and class!
Greetings from Uganda! I do hope you have been hearing bits and pieces of my trip adventures from Mrs. Kapps. I have been thinking about you all during my time at Lukolo, and wish you could be here with me.
My friends and I are living in a Ugandan village called Lukolo. Each village in Uganda has a school, and we are working at the school in Lukolo. Everyday, we teach students and play lots of games with them. We have spent lots of our time painting murals on classroom walls. We have painted the alphabet, numbers, parts of the body, and much more. All of the children at Lukolo don't have any shoes. Some don't even have a pencil of their own! It is VERY different than Clinton Elementary. However, the children love to play soccer and goof around, just like each of you!
We eat lots of tropical fruits like mangos, pineapple, and papayas. The children bring them to us as gifts everyday. We have received hundreds! At night we walk back to the village where we eat matoke (mashed plantains), rice, and beans. I am ready for a chocolate chip cookie! We go to bed very early, as there are no lights in the house.
I hope that your year is finishing off well, and I look forward to seeing you in September. On Friday, we will be working with the students at Lukolo on writing letters back to you.
