Early to rise - off to school. We arrived around 9:00 am today and our first task was to meet our new goat. We have named the goat Obomaisy (sp) which means 'to give life' in Swahili. The amazing part was that it was determined after she was purchased that she was pregnant.

Linda, Laura, Mark & Aaron were working with the students all
morning. This first day the students
were pretty shy as they were just getting to know us. James, Nelson, David & I went over to
Bwera Secondary School that has one of the stoves we are considering purchasing
for the school. It is on a much larger
scale as this school feeds about 1800 students per day. It was good to see them using it and we were
able to ask questions of the cooks about how they liked it.

The end of the day brought us back in the van heading to the hills around Bwera to deliver a goat. Nelson lead the way with Obobmaisy on a poda poda (motorcycle.)

When
we arrived at the village, we presented the goat to the family. There were extremely grateful and gave us
some ground nuts as a gift. We have had
the ground nuts roasted in the kitchen where we are staying so we can enjoy
them together.
