Pictures!

As promised, here are some pics from the new site. Home sweet home until 2010.

This is the school i'll be working at (As a biology teacher btw...should be interesting). The building to the left is the dorms for the girls (about 27 boarders stay there). To the right of that is one of the two blocks with classrooms. There are 3 classrooms in that building, each seating about 70 students. The little building to the right of that is the "kitchen", essentially a mud hut with a firepit for cooking the staff lunch and supper for the boarders. To the right of that is the new building they are constructing. It has walls but no roof yet as they are about 20 million shillings short on funding. This is the exam room mentioned before. Then to the right of that (notpictured) is the library and lab i will be focusing on. Right now all it has is one row of bricks on the ground, which is the "foundation". The rwenzori's are in the background but it was a bit cloudy so its hard to see them.

This is my porch looking southeast. we have a nice backyard, then a cow pasture, then some hills with tea plantations and then further out would be the mountains if the weather were a bit clearer.

And finally auntie chris with some of the neighborhood kids. I don't think they had any clue what was going on here but were nice enough to play along and hold the picture while i snapped away. They like to congregate at the backdoor of my sitting room, like they are here, and pretty much watch anything i do. "So what'd you do today?" "well we watched the muzungu sweep his floor, and then he made a sandwich, and then he yelled at us and locked the door."

jk, i havent snapped on them yet.

love you all, more to come.
