Valentines Day

Tuesday morning started with me hitching a ride to the far end of Kasana to deal with our desk maker. Got all his issues straightened out and then off to see my friend Patrick at the supermarket. I picked up a surprise Valentine's Day cake for the evening meal. Next the bank then off to the Internet to do some work on letters Sue needed for the mayor. I returned to Maama Watali and then decided I had to go to the wood supplier to get the wood delivered a little faster. Some confusion as to what was ordered yesterday but we got it straightened out and back to sorting with Pross. With the extra wood we had 2 extra shelves built which help reduce the volume of boxes. Pross was wondering what the blue item was that I brought in one of the boxes. It was a punching bag which I blew up ( it is 4 feet high) once up the kids started coming around and we tried to hit each other and blocking ourselves. Of course every time it hit the ground it picked up more dirt which was promptly deposited on the face and school clothes of the kids and I. I can't imagine what the parents said when they got home but we all had a good laugh.

Sue received a call from the people in Jinja and to say they are ecstatic about their library is an understatement. They are already designing their building!

Once the supper main course was over I called all the kids out from where they eat (they eat in a different area) so it was like pulling teeth to get them out to our table. I gave a little thank you speech then opened the cake. It was a big hit with the inside joke being " Happy Birthday". We all had a good time with pictures to boot.

Wednesday was school delivery day starting with Dam's school. She had all the kids outside with parents included. A little speech about the library interpreted by Jackson an then the dramatics of opening the box of soccer balls and tossing them into the crowd of kids. We followed with the soccer jerseys and the moment was a hit (More pictures)  We repeated this event at 3 other junior schools and a high school who's students showed great interest in the location of the library.  

We have to meet with the Mayor at 4 today so off we go.
