Bobby's joural May 14

Today when I woke up I was feeling a little cold so I threw on a sweatshirt, had breakfast, and went down to the computer class.  To my surprise, I ended up keeping the sweatshirt on for mostly all of the day.  In the computer class Mrs. Wybar gave us a list of things to do for the school.  After typing up various documents and estimates we went on a house visit.  We rode on piki-piki’s and met up with Jane.  Jane works at the school and took us to Rebecca’s house.  Rebecca lives with her father and 5 other brothers and sisters.  When we went to her house her father gave us a bag of avocados.  Her father can’t provide for his family, doesn’t have enough money for food, and he is giving us a bag of avocados.  It amazes me. The people here have nothing and give everything they can.  So, Rebecca lives with her 5 brothers and sisters and father in a small house.  Her house is made out of cow dung and mud, and has a metal roof.  After seeing her living situation, we walked up the street to their local market.  In the market we bought 10 000 shillings worth of food for Rebecca and her family.  As we were walking back, we started walking up a steep hill so, the sweatshirt finally came off.  We took piki-piki’s back to Bududa.  When we got home we didn’t really do much because there wasn’t much to be done.  I hung out with Dan at the house and learned some more phrases.  We ate dinner, watched a movie, and went to bed.
