Kittens and St Matthew

Today the morning started beautifully clear with views over the lake. Then we went, together with Jan,  to Jill Barham school which is next door to the guest house to help reorganise the library. The library had been moved to a new classroom, with a few library shelves and most of the books in boxes. However we set to work to sort out the books putting two of the sets of books on the book shelves. The rest, which were duplicates, were put back in boxes  We also spent some time teaching them how to use the aquafilters which the school had but were not using. We discovered a nest of kittens hidden among the books.
In the afternoon we went to St Matthew's school and did a tour of the school. We were invited into each classroom and asked to introduce ourselves. We were greeted in each by a chant and clapping.
The school does all ages from Juniors at the top to  seniors down a steep slope of the hill.
We presented them with toys for the nursery school pens and pencils footballs and some posters which were all gratefully received.

In the evening Mary did her Godly play session the Good Shepherd. We then went for a farewell supper with the Bishop and Ester, Berta and Ephraim, and some Rwandan friends who just turned up. As it was the tenth anniversary of our visits to Rwanda we were all presented with very special presents in the form of colourful Rwandan clothes.
