Today we woke up and went down to the school to greet The Children of Peace. After reading Noah’s Ark to the youngest children we interviewed the principal (George Kutosi.) This went very well and he was happy to be interviewed. After the interview and a couple last minute things it is time to head to Jinja and our white water rafting adventure. We get on a matattoo headed to Mbale and it’s so crowded my bags are on my lap so I can’t see my feet. So when I feel something touch my foot, I figure it’s just somebody else’s foot. When I feel it again I’m pretty confident it’s no one’s foot and I take off my bags to have a look. Turns out it wasn’t a foot, just the man in front of me’s chicken flapping its wings all over my leg. The whole matattoo starts laughing as I’m freaking out. I guess it’s normal to have a chicken flapping on your leg over here. We stop at Mbale for lunch and to get two soccer balls fixed for the school. As we leave we see a large crowd gathering and a man in front of us who spoke very good English explains to us that they are escorting a cow thieve to the prison. The embarrassment of the walk is part of the punishment. We finally arrive at Jinja at about 7 and after getting dinner at an actual restaurant we head to bed.
