Its seems like Beyonce has made her way out to Uganda. I never should have doubted her ability of world domination.


This video was taken when we were having some fun after typing lessons on Sunday afternoon. We have been going to the kid's Sunday services at the school (which they put together each week) and then after using our computers to give typing lessons. For most of the kids at Restore they have never had the opportunity to use a computer so it has been fun going over the basics with them. The space bar seems to prove the biggest challenge - but we will persevere!


The students' schedule is very full during the week. They sometimes have morning preps (self study/reading time) in the morning from 5-7am and then start classes at 7:30am. Classes generally go to 4:30 or 5pm with a half hour break at 11am for breakfast and an hour break at 1pm for lunch. They have free time for an hour and then dinner from 6-7 and preps again from 7-10 at what time they must go back to their dorms. Saturdays they have class from 7am - 1pm and then are free the rest of the day and on Sunday, although many people choose to study during that time as well or play sports. So the fact that they are so eager to spend what little free time they have to learn to type shows again their desire to learn! I am starting to re-evaluate if I even knew what work ethic was!
