Every night, we have a group check-in called "One Good Thing" where each person shares one of their favorite things that happened that day. This post features what everyone shared on Thursday, August 15th. On this day, we took an eight-hour bus ride from Kampala to St. Monica's School for Girls in Gulu, where we will be staying (in the dorms) for the next week.
Sophie - Seeing the Nile! (We stopped at a bridge and took lots of pictures)
Melissa - Seeing all the babboons and monkeys on the side of the road, many with their babies
Holda - All the kids who waved and smiled at the bus as we passed
Jess - Cuting cabbage and making friends with the girls at St. Monica's who are in the catering program and are preparing all our meals
Becca - Watchig Suzy "freak out" and get all star struck whe she got to meet Donald Dunson, author of her favorite book "Child, Victim, Soldier" (He was also staying at St. Monica's)
Leah - Having a new experience with "squatty potties"
Stacy - Surviving the bus ride! And catching air on the front seat of the bus when our driver took on some gnarly pot holes. And watching people's faces light up when she would smile at them on the road.
Shantell - Watching Suzy "freak out" about the monkeys' bright blue crotches. (Potential new bead color: "monkey ball blue")
Alli - Spotting the naked man on the side of the road who was gleefully showering as we drove by
Jen - Sitting under the awning at St. Monica's to watch the thunder and lightening storm. And seeing and walking arond the water bottle huts.
