Uganda Day 3: Kid's Camp in Gulu!!

(Side note... I'm posting these late, but I'll date them as if I posted them IN Africa.  Hope y'all can keep up!)

So today was kid’s camp and what a GREAT day it was! As always, we ran late, but Africans don’t work on a clock, so we were fine. The kids were fantastic. Ranging from 11-15 years old, they were so wonderful to work with--helping each other, participating in class and games, and always smiling.

The day was hot, but the school where we worked was perched atop a hill, so we were blessed with a nice breeze all day. I’m exhausted right now after all the excitement, but I’m content. At the end of the day, the kids herded us outside for a complimentary performance! As if the welcome song wasn’t enough, they pulled out the drums, the girls donned their dance skirts and bells, and they proceeded to put on a show! It amazed me at how cooperative they were with each other. The older kids -- girls and boys -- took turns leading the dances. Nobody got upset because they didn’t get a turn; and nobody commented on another kid’s direction. They just went with the flow and enjoyed performing. When we left that day, they chased after the van waving at us.
