Gilgal

Today was our first day back at Gilgal High School. They closed back in November so we havent seen any of the students since then.
The first week of school usually fills in slowly, because the students might be coming from far away or not have all their school fees or books. Yesterday there were only about 6-8 students, more will show up throughout the week. Some are coming from as far away as Sudan.
I have missed the school and was definitely excited to be back and see the students

The girls and Christine


The guys...Edwin, the one with the tie around his head, is Head Boy...He takes it seriously



Tobias pretending to be revising


They really werent working that hard,it was all for show of the camera...


The class was pretty relaxed so the neighborhood kids joined us



This is about the extent of work that was done...quality picture-taking



This is one of my favorite students Silas. I call him "nini" with in Swahili means "what", because he says it all the time instead of actual words... I found out yesterday he wont be coming back, but instead going to a high school closer to where he is. I was really sad that I had to say goodbye, but at least I got to see him.


The girls wanted to show us the river where they get their water from. Its not an actual river, but a pipe that pumps clean water




Chumba...


Some of the neighborhood kids
