9/18

Not much to write home about today.  I struggled quite a bit teaching my lessons today.  It was just one of those off days.  The kids were off which threw me off which threw my lessons off. Hmph. Tomorrow is a new day!  On a brighter note, almost all of my students were back to school today.  Only 3 were out, so I had 17 of my 20 students.  That was a relief. 

After school things turned up a bit when Katie and I went to a new craft shop in town: Rwenzori Arts, Crafts, and Tailoring Workshop.  We had met an Australian woman the previous week who told us about the work she was doing in Uganda.  The Australian woman spent a year in Uganda training 4 women on how to sew, so that they can make a living for themselves.  The women just recently opened up the craft shop in Kasese.  At the shop they sell oven mitts, aprons, bags, purses, headbands, stuffed animals, wallets, and skirts that are all made out of beautiful fabrics.  They even have a website where you can place orders of your own, or to just check out the beautiful things they make: http://www.orphfundsewingschool.blogspot.com.au .
