This morning I woke up, ate breakfast and went down to help teach the music class. We wrote out the lyrics to Amazing Grace on a big sheet of paper. We taught Johnson, the music teacher, the tune so he could help us teach the children. After music class a kid hurt his collarbone so we gave him medicine and a cold pack. When I got the instant cold pack and gave it to him he was shocked because it was so cold. The people here don’t have refrigerators or ice, so it was really unusual to have something cold.
After school, I played Frisbee with some of the local kids. When it went into the maze, all of the kids would run to be the first to get it. I didn’t realize it but we were actually playing in a garden. When the kids left a man named Geno Kopelu came up to the house and started singing and dancing. This guy is a real character. He’s the George Hicks of Uganda. He has produced a couple of songs, but only in Bududa. In Africa, you can travel 5 minutes down the road and be in a different town that speaks a completely different language. He taught me his song; I still don’t know what it means though. After singing, we ate dinner and then watched “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.” Moses loved it, he would laugh at everything. He was so amazed with the laptop that he would touch the screen. After the movie, we all went to bed.
