Paintin'

This is a picture of Mirembe after she tried to help us paint! ha

So, we've been on holiday for these last two weeks.  All the kids are gone and things slow down (if that is even possible. ha)  Anyways, William, the headteacher at the deaf school, mentioned that he was going to hire someone to paint the school over the break.  I said that Peace Corps and JICA (Japanese version of PC) volunteers would love to come and help out.  So a bunch of people got together over the last few weeks and we all got to work painting.  Some of the kids who stay over the break even pitched in.  It was a blast.... saved them a ton of money... and gave me a great project over break.  We ended up painting all of the admin. block, inside and outside, all of the classrooms (in and out), dining hall, vocational school (the one I am starting), and all of the dorms. It was so much fun!! Here are some pictures:
