We woke up very early to the school boys singing songs which we found really cool.  Our first activity was getting a tour of St Patricks school in which we were welcomed by the boys singing a song to weocome us to the school.  We then met all the boys, got a buddy, many new friends, and our buddy showed us the school while telling us all about it. The school is so different to St Benedicts but it was super interesting to see how different their curricular is to ours back in Scotland.  Our second adventure was visiting the primary school RU2.  This was 100% the highlight of the day as we were so welcomed by all the children and they ran up to us like we were celebrities shouting &#8220;Masungu!&#8221; which means &#8220;White people!&#8221;  They then all swarmed us, asking for high fives and hugs which we all loved and had so much fun laughing with them. This made us super excited for when we return on Friday.  After this we visited St Magdalena&#8217;s which is a much smaller school for children with disabilities.  This was a very wholesome activity as we were able to bond and talk to even more people.  They sang us one of their songs and we were able to give them some sweets and balloons.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monire mose, today was our first full day and we all loved every second of it!
