Tuesday June 21st
This morning we headed off to Ebenezer secondary school where there are quite a large number of Esuubi sponsored pupils studying. We arrived during a mid-term exam so all was quiet. The head teacher Richard was once again stressing the need for a good attitude to work, a goal to strive for and to believe in themselves. During the interval between exams Ann and I gave short speeches exhorting them to use the opportunity they have. I almost sounded like a teacher!!(Ann did!!)
A lengthy 4 hour delay followed while we waited to have an important Esuubi meeting but it was worth the wait with a very useful discussion ensuing.
Then we had an exciting cultural expedition into the African bush to discover the whereabouts of Mityana Railway Station. Alas no trains just a scene of dereliction but still very recognisable after over 30 years of disuse. Only the Maribou storks and a cow seemed to be patiently waiting for the next train!
