Rainbow International School Sports Day

Zara's team came third in one of the races. Zara racing towards a tunnel in part of her obstacle race. I was trying to cheer her on and take a photo...not easy :) She was very careful not to step on the grass on this one. Her team won this bike race. Joshua and his other Ssese (Name of team) teammates waiting for their races. Joshua's team came first in the big shoe race. Joshua and his best friend, Anguci waiting to race. The big shoe race. Above are some of the photos of Joshua and Zara taking part in the Primary School sports day. It was a fun two days for them but it was very hot. Thankfully there was plenty of water flowing. I enjoyed watching them all and there was a great competitive spirit on both days for Primary and Secondary school. It was amazing to watch some of the upper class students run..wow they were fast!

Braiding and scissors

On Saturday Joshua and Zara's school had a fun day. World Cup fun day to be exact. They were able to do a lot of fun things like face painting, crafts and there was even a bouncy castle. One of the hightlights for Joshua was a stall that sold plastic swords. He spent most of the morning running round with his friend Anguci having sword fights. It looked even more realistic when he had his face painted like a pirate. Zara's choices of the morning were to have her nails painted pink and to have a length of her hair braided. She was very patient for both activities. However, the patience didn't carry over into the next day.

Time for Change

It has been a while since I have blogged and so I thought it was about time I gave you a bit of an update from my side (Pam). These past three months I have been reconsidering my role as Training Co-ordinator or Learning and Development Co-ordinator as it is now called. I have been doing the job for the past 5 years. I have really enjoyed the role and it has stretched me in different areas which has been good but the time has come to let someone else take the work forward. It wasn't an easy decision to make but after making it I felt a sense of peace and joy. I will continue in this role until we leave for furlough in June. I have some training that needs to be completed before I leave for furlough so still enough work to be done. You might be asking what will I replace this job with...well as it stands I still have enough to keep me out of mischief. The MAF guesthouse which a friend and I manage is doing really well and continues to be busy with more and more teams wanting to stay...
