Sunsets and Textbooks



Local Brew Break:
Lisa, myself and some of the staff at the National Teachers College, Kaliro are taking an evening to relax from our busy days out and about. We are drinking local brew (malwa) which is made from millet and drank from a communal pot with long straws. The local brew, especially to someone who has not become accustomed to the taste might describe the taste as warm, watery bread, but many people after taking a few times find at least some pleasure in relaxing and bantering over some malwa. These drinking circles often last for hours...




New Books:
After transporting the books to the Library at the NTC, Kaliro, many staff and students took an opportunity to get themselves acquainted with the new materials. Next to me are the librarians whom were marking the books with the college's stamp so that they are officially marked as being owned by the college, so to avoid unwarranted theft of the materials. NOTE: I was not intending to be pointing at the camera, the picture was just taken at the most inopportune time!




Students Aiding with Book Donation
Thanks to the many efforts of the people at KPCB and Mari Baker, a generous donation of textbooks was awarded to the National Teachers' College, Kaliro. Here we have a number of students taking time out of their day to help with transporting and organising the books at the college. The excitement on their faces in peering in to the bags was amazing and seeing these students (and staff) so enthralled in new materials was incredible.




Sunset over the River Nile:
The River Nile and its Mother Sun setting...I think that is all I need to say.
