Twice per term, the boys are required to take Ugandan exams.

On this day, we are going to a school in town for mid-terms. Always an adventure.

School buses aren't the only way to school

And here, they are non-existent

Boda-bodas (motorcycle taxis) are my main source of transportation

Having grown up with 6 brothers who all enjoyed motorcycles,

I'm right at home on the back of one

(tho 'sidesaddle' is a new experience)

Our daily 'school' is here on the compound

Each morning,

I meet with the boys in our Classroom hut

(kind of like an African version of 'Little House on the Prairie')

And am challenged to instruct them in Math, English, History, Science and

Most importantly, God's Word, the Bible

Sometimes we have loads of fun,

Sometimes we have stress,

Sometimes we have frustration.

But we always have LOVE.

And we always learn something

(often me more than them)

I am continually reminded that real learning

Comes through teaching

Bless you!
