Cue the Vuvuzelas

Ladies and Gentlemen, Adolf is up to his saintly chest in books. I cant thank you enough...so i'll let the pictures from this amazing day speak for themselves. Thank you thank you thank you, a hundred times over.

Arrival!


The turn I had not planned for them to make


The mango tree we (thankfully) didn't have to cut


Collectively Confused


My first breath in 3 weeks


Unloading begins


Plastic. Woooo!



Mawe! (omg)


The pile begins


The plastic inevitably becomes a football


(Superb unloading techniques on display)


Last two palates


30,000 books!

What's next?....

Over the next few days we will continue to sort through the giant pile of books in preparation for PCV's from around Uganda to begin picking them up....


I'll keep the pictures coming. Thank you again for everything you all have done for this project. One of our teachers shook my hand today and simply said, "St. Adolf has really become a special place for students."
