Today we went to a village about 30 minutes away to do another field day with the school kids. On the bus ride there, our neighbors stopped us and gave us this note....
There were about 900 kids at the field day so we are learning to constantly be flexible! At first, these children were much more timid than the children in Soroti because they don't see white people ("Mazungus") as often.
After playing a bunch of games, teaching them "Ta-te-ta-ta" and Mingle, they finally warmed up to us and were so excited that we came to hang out with them.
After hanging out with the children, we played a soccer match against the 15 year old boys. We beat them 1-0 on Matt's first goal of his soccer career! The crowd of children loved him and would always get loud when he had the ball. At the end, the children were screaming "Olay, olay, olay, olay!" They were so excited that we came.
Our team has become very close on this trip. We are all very flexible and willing to do whatever needs to be done. We hung out and played the card game spoons. We saw a baby lizard on the wall and Carrie caught it!
