Namirembe Sports Day

Our first school visit in Kampala ony Wednesday was to Namirembe Primary who were having their Sports Day which is very much like field day at Laurel Mountain Elementary. The most interesting event had to be "getting ready for school" where some boys stripped down to their underwear and then raced to put their clothes back on!

The bottle filling event was made much more difficult by requiring participants to race to the finish line with the full bottle balanced on their heads.

Some of our women volunteers decided to take on the obstacle course -- Trudy came in a distant last place ;-).

We were treated to a traditional African dance at Kasubi Primary where we had an opportunity to sit and talk with the teachers. We finished the day with classroom visits at Uplands High School.
