Music and More

Well, I definitely don't post on here as often as I have wanted to or should... but here are a few events that have happened since.... September.  Yikes.  So, this is a 3-month update - in pictures.

_______________
On September 6, TFC (Talented For Christ), the grade 8 band that Nadine and Juma play in, were invited to a music festival at Namirembe Cathedral.  It is a beautiful cathedral on a Namirembe Hill in Kampala.  In 2019, this church will celebrate its 100th year.






_______________
In early September, the kids' Aunty Emily (Welli's sister) and her husband, Eddie, came for a visit.  It was great to see Emily again after a long time!




_______________
For Welli's birthday on October 15, we went out for the day and enjoyed the scenic location of Serena Hotel by Lake Victoria.




________________
On October 31, students and parents of Word of Life International School participated in a 10km walk in Entebbe to raise funds for building projects at school.  A marching band went ahead of us and motivated us as we went along. We even had police escort along the way.




________________
On November 14, TFC played once again at a Band Festival that was hosted by Word of Life.



________________
On November 28, we celebrated (a day early because the Pope was in Uganda and the main highway was closed) with a birthday breakfast.  We did also celebrate on their birthday at home.






_______________
Once Juma and Nadine's birthday is finished, Christmas comes in full swing.  On December 4th, we finished the term at school with a candlelight service.

I took the opportunity to photograph the teachers and staff of the school (a few are missing, but this is most of the group).

Thanks for taking the time to peruse through this post.  We wish you all a joyous Christmas!
