Karamojong Day
Most of our children are from the Karamojong tribe, a tribe that is discriminated against in Uganda. PFP teaches the children to celebrate their heritage and to be proud of who they are. On May 12th the kids celebrate Karamojong day complete with traditional dress and face painting, dance lessons, a singalong, and a language class taught by two of the older boys, Tikol and Angella! Mark also taught everyone about the Karamojong history.

Emma wrote about the day:
"This holiday was really unique. Today was really fantastic as the children were trying to recall their culture by singing, dancing, and demonstrating the most popular economic activity for the Karamojong tribe, which is cattle keeping. I was amused to hear Longoli Grace trying to sing in her mother tongue as well as Lomilo, Natulei Harriet, and Aggan Moses all giving their best."
New Pets!
Welcome to the family Garfield and Odie! Odie will be a future guard dog and Garfield will keep our property rodent-free. It is rare to have pets in Uganda and the children are very excited about it. A group of them made Odie a cardboard "dog house" complete with a door, blanket, and food dish. So sweet. :)

Masese
The children went on a day trip to the slums, Masese, to visit some of their relatives. This is a PFP effort aimed at maintaining family and cultural ties.

Medical
After a mumps outbreak at the school our children are attending Becky took the kids to Dr. Mufumba's clinic for the mumps vaccination. We're not sure why they're smiling. ;)

The perimeter wall is almost finished! It looks fantastic and will provide a lot more security for our kids.
