and some pictures...

nice...the powercut is over - belive it or not, after one whole week!!!

so now i am able to show you some more pictures...these are pictures from the last 2 weeks or so. so from many differrent `events`. i like them, and i hope you will like them as well. enjoy

view through the window of a school we visited. they all wanted to shake my hand when they saw me!

some of our pupils playing.

the 2 boys in the back of the picture, eric and royzee, were born in uganda, and then went with their family to kongo. there their parents got killed, and an aunt of them came to bring them back to uganda. but on the way this aunt left them alone...so they police found them when they were loitering in some village and brought them here. they are right now almost the only pupils that stay here, because holidays started, and all got the permission to go `home` for a months... to see at least some family members - but these 2 boys dont have anyone, so they stay.

bringing beans from the farm

and storing the beans

on our farm we grow many vegetables - also beans. when they were harvested we brought them down to the school. they had to dry in the sunshine, but when it was raining (which happened by this time every day) we had to bring them inside...as you can see in the 2nd picture!

a few days after our speechday there was a speechday in bongole, a school `a chance for children` built - and is running. its deep in the village. we went there with the brass band, and so it became a big day for the students!
